Monsoon Session 2026 Opens Amid Alliance Turmoil
The Monsoon Session of Parliament in India is starting on July 20, 2026.
There's a lot of tension because some MPs from the Shiv Sena and Trinamool Congress (TMC) have switched sides.
The government has allowed some of these changes, but the Opposition parties are upset.
They think the government is breaking the rules by recognizing new groups before making official decisions.
The Opposition even walked out of a meeting to protest.
The government says it wants everyone to work together, but the Opposition feels that the government is not following the proper procedures.
This session is going to be very interesting because of all these disagreements.
Monsoon Session of Parliament begins July 20, 2026, amid political turmoil and procedural disputes.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla approved the merger of six Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena.
Opposition parties walked out of an all-party meeting protesting the government's invitation to the NCPI, which they claim is a 'parking place' for 20 rebel TMC MPs.
Government seeks smooth functioning and cooperation, while Opposition accuses the government of undermining parliamentary norms.
The session is expected to be contentious due to shifting alliances, procedural controversies, and Opposition challenges to institutional overreach.
