NDA Mangal Milan strengthens unity Monsoon Session unfolds

The NDA parliamentary party held its first meeting under the name ‘Mangal Milan’ at Parliament, aimed at strengthening coordination as the Monsoon Session begins and to honor Prime Minister Narendra Modi while welcoming new Rajya Sabha members. On the session’s opening, both houses experienced adjournments amid Opposition protests over issues including a NEET paper leak, Ram Mandir donation embezzlement, and student concerns, with the Opposition demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Floor leaders are slated to meet to chart a strategy for the session’s second day, as the government pushes ahead with several key bills amid sustained protests. The session is expected to run until August 13 with 19 sittings, amid calls for accountability and tighter debates in a changed Opposition landscape. A separate NDA strategy update confirms Modi will address the party’s weekly meeting at Parliament House, underscoring continued unity within the coalition.
