NDA names July 21 Parliamentary Party meeting 'Mangal Milan'
New Delhi, July 17
The National Democratic Alliance has named its Parliamentary Party meeting, scheduled to be held on July 21, as 'Mangal Milan.'
The meeting will be held at 9:30 am at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium in the Parliament Library Building and will be attended by all NDA MPs from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. The meeting of NDA leaders assumes significance in the wake of the legislative agenda of the government.
Several significant bills are expected to be taken up during the Monsoon Session, which will continue till August 13, as announced earlier by Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju.
The session is also expected to witness intense political exchanges amid recent developments in several opposition parties. Political realignments over the past few weeks are likely to have an impact on the dynamics inside Parliament.
The Opposition is expected to raise issues including the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's remarks on casualties during Operation Sindoor. The Congress has already moved a breach of privilege notice against the Defence Minister over his remarks.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) examining the proposed 130th Constitution Amendment Bill is also expected to adopt its report on July 17 before submitting it to Parliament.
The Bill has sparked political debate over a provision that mandates the automatic removal of the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers and Union or State ministers from office if they remain in judicial custody for 30 consecutive days in cases involving serious offences.

Interesting choice of name. But I wonder if the NDA's unity is as smooth as the name suggests. With political realignments happening constantly, this 'Mangal Milan' might be more about keeping allies together than actual legislative work. The 130th Amendment Bill is particularly contentious.
Calling it 'Mangal Milan' feels like branding for the sake of optics. The real question is whether they will address the NEET paper leak issue seriously. Students are losing hope, and the opposition is right to demand accountability. Jaise khel khel rahe hain sab. 😐
The 130th Amendment Bill is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it promotes accountability for corrupt politicians, but on the other, it could be misused to destabilize governments. The NDA should tread carefully. As for 'Mangal Milan', I hope it brings more than just a photo-op for the allies. 🤞
Every session these days feels like a political circus. The opposition is going to raise the NEET issue and Rajnath's remarks, but the government seems determined to push its agenda. This 'Mangal Milan' might just be the calm before the storm. Let's see how many bills actually pass before August 13.
