BELIEVE IT OR NOT- Rejoinder to blog"Right to Food"


The Food security bill could not be passed & converted into an Act by the Parliament exclusively owing to the Disruption caused by the resistance from the opposition parties & their non-cooperation. The attempt from the Speaker to overcome the resistance caused by the unruly scenes in the Loksabha had failed& a decision to adjourn & terminate the session had to be taken. The sufferers, obviously, were the innocent General Public who had elected them to go to the Parliament. Apart from this loss to the people,enormous loss had also occurred to the State exchequer.Every minute of Parliament session costs Rs2.5 Lakhs to the public Money. Both the Houses of Parliament in the 2nd Budget session were supposed to spend 32 days of business.Out of this the Question hour lost totally because of interruption with noise for 21 Days.in this process the Loksabha which was to do business for 94 Hours and the lost time accounted for 92 hours& 40 minutes Similarly,the RajyaSabha was to convene for 82 hours & could not do any business except a farewell session for the Prime Minister whose tenure was to end.He is however seeking re-election from Assam. Thus the Rajyasabha Sabha lost approximately 82 hours business. Thus the lost hours of business for Loksabha was 92 Hours& 40 minutes& the Rajyasabha 82 Hours. Thus the total hours of loss of Business of both the Houses were to the tune of 175 hours approximately. The approximate cost of the lost hours is thus RS26.25 Crores to the Exchequer The very Noble concept of the Constitution " For the People,By the People,Of the People" Is literally lost apart from the Loss of " Right to Food" simply because of the odd behavior from the Representatives of the People.

  1. With the removal of two people from responsible position ,the purpose for which the business hours of the the two houses were interrupted is over. But who would account for the lost time ,energy&money ?the Rulers or the people who created the avoidable unrest in the Houses?
