Parliament Monsoon Session LIVE Updates: PM Modi To Address NDA Parliamentary Party Meeting Today
Deputy Speaker Jagdambika Pal, presiding over the afternoon session yesterday, reminded members that not a single bill had been passed since the start of the Monsoon Session.
This marks the third straight week of disrupted proceedings in the Monsoon Session, which commenced on July 21.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting— the first such gathering during the ongoing Parliament session and the first in a considerable while.
The meeting carries added significance as the nomination process for the Vice President's election begins on August 7.
With a clear majority in the electoral college, the NDA's nominee is expected to win unopposed. However, the alliance must announce its candidate by August 21 — the deadline for filing nominations and the final day of the Monsoon Session.

PM Modi Felicitated By Har Har Mahadev Chants At NDA Meet
Legislative business in both Houses remains stalled as the Opposition parties are demanding an immediate debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. The issue, which triggered major protests on Monday, has deepened the deadlock and disrupted parliamentary proceedings. Deputy Speaker Jagdambika Pal, who chaired the afternoon session yesterday, pointed out that not a single bill has been passed since the Monsoon Session began on July 21. Meanwhile, yesterday's Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned following the demise of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren. Key leaders from the BJP, including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and Kiren Rijiju, are expected to participate in today's session. From the opposition, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, along with Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, are also likely to attend. This is the third consecutive week of disruptions in Parliament, with no signs of a breakthrough. The Monsoon Session of the Parliament began on July 21 and is scheduled to run until August 21. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the BJP-led NDA parliamentary party meeting today, marking the first such gathering during the current session and the first in quite some time. The meeting is expected to focus on floor coordination and strategy amid the ongoing impasse.

We Have Proof, Will Present In Court: Tejashwi Yadav On EC Irregularities In Bihar Voter Rolls
"A response will be given... Many names are missing from the voter list, and we have several irregularities by the Election Commission with us. We will send this to the Election Commission and also present it in court," Tejashwi told reporters before leaving for Ranchi to attend the last rites of veteran leader Shibu Soren. Yadav further elaborated, "We have demanded booth-wise data because many names have been deliberately excluded. For example, Vyas ji's name is missing. In some houses, over 50 voters have been removed. These are not minor errors; they are serious irregularities, and we have proof. We will send this evidence to the Election Commission and also submit it before the court." His remarks come amid an ongoing controversy over claims that he possesses dual voter ID cards. The Election Commission has issued a notice to Tejashwi, asking him to provide the EPIC number that he claimed was deleted from the Bihar voter list, despite the poll body stating that his name is present in the draft electoral roll. The BJP has sharply criticised Tejashwi, alleging that holding two voter ID cards is a criminal offence and demanding strict action against him. Meanwhile, Yadav confirmed that the RJD's planned "Vote Adhikar Yatra" has been postponed following the demise of Shibu Soren. "There has been a schedule change, but the new date for the Yatra will be announced soon," he said. Speaking about Shibu Soren's death, Yadav expressed deep sorrow. 'We received the sad news yesterday. We are now heading to Ranchi to pay our last respects. Shibu Soren ji fought for the poor, the underprivileged, and especially for tribal rights. He was also a long-time ally of my father and the RJD-JMM alliance. His passing is a political loss for the nation, and we offer our full condolences to his family.' Yadav is expected to join other national leaders at Nemra village in Jharkhand on Tuesday, where Soren's last rites will be performed.

Hoardings, banners with ‘Antim Johar' message put up in Ranchi to pay tributes to Shibu Soren
Hoardings, banners and posters with a message 'Antim Johar' (last salutation) were put up in Jharkhand's capital Ranchi to pay tributes to former Chief Minister Shibu Soren. Soren, who was undergoing treatment at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi for over a month for kidney-related problems, died at the age of 81 on Monday. At Ranchi's Karamtoli Chowk, a large hoarding was put up, displaying a message, in Hindi, 'Antim Johar…Vinamra Shradhanjali Jharkhand Rajya Nirmata Disom Guru Shibu Soren' (Last Salutation…Humble tributes to Jharkhand state creator Dishom Guru Shibu Soren). 'Jharkhand has never seen a leader like Shibu Soren. His contribution to Jharkhand will always be in the heart of every citizen of the state,' Ramesh Hansda (45), a commuter, said after noticing the large hoarding at Karamtoli. JMM supporters and followers of Shibu Soren have been making a beeline at his Morabadi residence since morning to have a last glimpse of their leader. Mortal remains of Shibu Soren will be brought to the Jharkhand assembly, where ministers, legislators and other dignitaries will pay their homage this morning, and his body will be taken to his native village Nemra in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district, where the last rites of the Rajya Sabha MP will be performed, a JMM leader said. All government schools have been closed on Tuesday, while most of the private educational institutes have also declared a holiday in honour of the former CM. Business associations, such as the Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FJCCI), have appealed to traders to keep their shops and establishments shut in respect of Guruji.
