Union Minister Piyush Goyal is set to move for the withdrawal of the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha this Tuesday. The decision comes as the House enters the second stage of the 2026-27 Union Budget. Originally introduced last year to streamline governance by decriminalising various minor offences, the Bill is being pulled back to incorporate specific amendments suggested by the Select Committee, aimed at further bolstering trust-based governance and the "ease of doing business."
The day's legislative agenda, as outlined in the revised list of business, is heavily focused on the financial backbone of the country. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Congress MP Kodikunnil Suresh will jointly move a motion following the Business Advisory Committee’s latest report. This will lead into the important process of discussing and voting on the Demands for Grants for the 2026-27 fiscal year, and in this regard, the spotlights will be on the Ministries of Railways, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, and Home Affairs.
This is also a busy day for Parliamentary Standing Committees. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Vishnu Dayal Ram are scheduled to present reports for the Committee on Home Affairs, which will outline the Government’s progress in respect of earlier recommendations made by this Committee. In a significant appearance, BJP MPs Kangana Ranaut and Rabindra Narayan Behera will lay reports relating to the Ministries of Communications and Information & Broadcasting.
The session will further cover international and financial strategy, with Shashi Tharoor and Arvind Ganpat Sawant presenting a key evaluation of India’s Indian Ocean Strategy. Reports from the Finance, Labour, and Petroleum committees are also expected, providing a comprehensive review of departmental spending and performance. Proceedings began this morning with the usual Question Hour, followed by a series of formal papers laid by senior ministers including Giriraj Singh and Virendra Kumar.
