Mere exchange of accusations will not suffice: BSP chief Mayawati hopeful of smooth functioning of Parliament

BSP chief Mayawati urges ruling and opposition parties to ensure Parliament functions smoothly to discuss pressing issues like Delhi's air pollution and voter list revision.

"Mere exchange of accusations will not suffice - Mayawati"

Lucknow, December 1

Bahujan Samaj Party national president Mayawati on Monday expressed hope that the Winter Session of Parliament will address important matters concerning the public, as she appealed to both the opposition and treasury benches to ensure the smooth functioning of both houses.

In a post on X, Mayawati said matters such as Special Intensive Revision, Delhi air pollution need the attention of the House.

"The Winter Session of Parliament begins today, and like every session, there is an expectation that this one too will be quite tumultuous. However, our party desires that both Houses of Parliament be conducted in a well-organized and peaceful manner, so that crucial and important issues concerning the nation and public interest--particularly the severe distress caused by air pollution in the national capital Delhi and other areas, the practical difficulties and objections arising from the intensive revision of the voter list, i.e., the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), and the troubles faced by BLOs, the primary officials responsible for this task, including the tragic incidents of suicides being committed by them--can be properly discussed, and meaningful efforts can be made toward finding appropriate solutions," Mayawati wrote.

The BSP supremo said that Parliament must function smoothly to ensure that the broader national and public interest is served.

"Mere exchange of accusations will not suffice; rather, to serve the broader national and public interest by ensuring the smooth functioning of Parliament, both the ruling side and the opposition must rise above narrow political interests and demonstrate complete sensitivity and seriousness--this is our firm appeal," she said.

The Winter session of the Parliament is set to begin today.

The government has listed a total of 13 Bills for consideration during the Winter Session, many of which have not been examined by a Standing Committee.

The Parliament is set to have 15 sittings across 19 days. Private Members' Bills are set to be taken for consideration on December 5 and 19, and Private Members' resolutions on December 12.

As an observer, it's refreshing to see a call for productivity over politics. The mention of BLOs and the voter list revision is crucial—these ground-level issues often get lost in the noise of big-ticket debates. Hope this session is different.

Well said! But let's be real, will anyone listen? Every session starts with hopes of smooth functioning and ends in chaos. 🤦‍♀️ The 13 bills listed need proper scrutiny, not a rushed passage. Our democracy deserves better.

The point about BLOs is heartbreaking. Government officials under so much pressure that they take extreme steps, and our netas are busy playing blame games. Parliament should first discuss how to support these frontline workers. Jai Hind.

While I appreciate the sentiment, it's easy to make appeals when you have very few MPs in the house. The real test is for the major parties in the treasury and opposition benches. They must show maturity. The nation is watching.

Air pollution is not just Delhi's problem. We in UP's smaller cities are also choking. Hope Parliament discusses a nationwide winter action plan, not just politics. Mayawatiji is right to highlight this public health emergency. 🙏
