Mayawati demands longer Parliament sessions
Mayawati, a leader in India, is worried that the Parliament and state meetings are too short.
She said they should meet for at least 100 days a year.
She thinks this is important because these meetings help keep the government in check and make sure things run smoothly.
Right now, the meetings are often interrupted and don't last as long as they used to.
Mayawati wants both the government and the opposition to take this seriously and make changes.
Mayawati demands Parliament and state legislatures follow a 100-day annual calendar.
She expresses concern over frequent disruptions and adjournments in sessions.
The Winter Session of Parliament had only 15 sittings, down from the usual 20.
Budget session is scheduled in two phases: January 28 to February 13 and March 9 to April 2.
Mayawati emphasizes the importance of peaceful and rule-bound proceedings for accountability.
