The monsoon session of Parliament kicks off on July 19. This will be the first session after a majority of parliamentarians have been vaccinated, and will hopefully ease the convening of both Houses while complying with safety considerations. It will be the first session since Prime Minister NarendraModi has expanded and reshuffled his council of ministers; the new faces in the executive will now begin their process of legislative accountability. It is the first session since the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic devastated lives in the country in the summer. It is the first session since the Bharatiya Janata Party lost the West Bengal election, and a strong regional party, the DravidaMunnetraKazhagam, returned to power in Tamil Nadu. And it is happening at a time when Opposition parties have mounted renewed efforts at unity, and the political climate has heated up in the run-up to the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections next year.
