Kiren Rijiju

The Union Budget for 2024-25 presented by Nirmala Sitharaman lays the strongest-possible foundation for an 'atmanirbhar' (self-reliant) and 'viksit' (developed) Bharat and no one with a sane mind will criticise it, Minister Kiren Rijjiju has said.

Hitting out at the Congress Party over the Emergency imposed in 1975, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister, Kiren Rijiju said the Union government has taken a big step to observe June 25 as the "Samvidhaan Hatya Diwas."

The full Budget for the year 2024-25 will be presented on July 23, with the Parliament session beginning a day earlier, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju announced on Saturday.

A day after the BJP submitted a notice against Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha over alleged inaccuracies in his speech, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said any member trying to mislead the House will not get away.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday slammed the opposition Congress-led INDIA bloc for intentionally disrupting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speeches in both Houses of Parliament.

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju today said that Leader of Opposition (LoP), Rahul Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha should be seen as a "lesson to all the NDA MPs", and they should avoid such behaviour and conduct.

The BJP - hit by a blistering broadside Monday from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, in his first speech as Leader of the Opposition - deployed union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Kiren Rijiju, and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi to counter.

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge went head-to-head with Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju Monday over the Prerna Sthal issue, which refers to moving statues of national icons, including Mahatma Gandhi, from the front to the back.

This appeal comes in light of Congress leader K Suresh filing a nomination against the NDA's nominee, Om Birla, for the position of Lok Sabha Speaker, marking a rare instance of an election for this post after 48 years.

The government has fielded Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Parliamentary Affairs minister Kiren Rijiju to build consensus on the choices for the Lok Sabha Speaker and Deputy Speaker post, sources have said.

Whenever a party has secured a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the Speaker has always been from the ruling party. It has been a slightly different story whenever we have had coalition governments.

Historically, the Speaker and Deputy Speaker have been elected by consensus. However, there are indications that the 18th Lok Sabha may witness contests for these posts.

In what appears to be a trailer to a stormy Parliament session, two senior parliamentarians of the ruling BJP and the Opposition Congress traded barbs this morning, hours before the new Lok Sabha meets.

BJP and Congress are fighting over the appointment of BJP leader and seven-time Cuttack MP Bhartruhari Mahtab as Pro Tem Speaker, a post the Congress expected for eight-time Kerala MP K Suresh.
