Parliament Monsoon Session Live Updates: Both Houses to resume after disruptions over Bihar voter roll row
Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MP KR Suresh Reddy submitted a Suspension of Business Notice in the Rajya Sabha, urging the House to take up the issue of the Godavari-Banakacherla Project and its impact on Telangana. Reddy alleged that Andhra Pradesh was diverting Godavari river waters through dams and barrages under the Godavari-Banakacherla Project to other river basins, thereby disadvantaging Telangana and infringing upon its water rights. Calling the diversion an 'unauthorized utilization,' Reddy said the move deprives Telangana of its rightful share of water and has long been a source of tension between the two states. Congress MPs on Wednesday escalated their concerns over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, with separate notices submitted in both Houses of Parliament. In the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Manickam Tagore submitted an Adjournment Motion Notice demanding a discussion on the matter. Citing reports that over 12 per cent of voters have been deleted from the rolls, Tagore flagged mass voter deletions and questioned the fairness and transparency of the revision process. Calling it a matter of 'grave public concern,' he said the purge undermines citizens' fundamental right to vote and Parliament's oversight role, urging the House to suspend regular business for an urgent debate. In the Rajya Sabha, Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala gave a Suspension of Business Notice under Rule 267, seeking a discussion on concerns about the 'integrity of the electoral processes.' Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh submitted a Suspension of Business Notice in the Rajya Sabha seeking an urgent discussion on alleged irregularities in the recently held Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Phase-13 examination. Singh flagged a series of concerns, including technical glitches, biometric verification errors, and abrupt exam cancellations during the exam period from July 24 to August 1. These issues, he said, have triggered widespread confusion among candidates and led to large-scale protests, especially in Delhi. He also raised alarm over rising anxiety among students preparing for the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam scheduled for August 13, warning that unresolved issues could further undermine the selection process. Congress MP Hibi Eden on Wednesday moved an adjournment motion in the Lok Sabha seeking immediate discussion on the appointment of a judge to the Bombay High Court, citing concerns over the judge's previous political affiliations. He was referring to the appointment of advocate and ex-BJP spokesperson Aarti Sathe as a judge of the Bombay High Court. In his notice, Eden highlighted that the judge had earlier served as a spokesperson for a major political party, which, he argued, could compromise perceptions of impartiality and judicial independence. 'This appointment has sparked controversy and raises questions about the judiciary's independence and potential politicization,' Eden stated in the motion, urging the House to adjourn its regular business to take up the issue. He warned that the judge's political background could undermine public trust in the judiciary and called for urgent debate to safeguard the institution's integrity.

Did Ashok Gehlot Just Buy Land Rover Defender? A Clarification
Jaipur: A video of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot getting out of a White Defender car is viral on social media, weeks after he was requested by a supporter to change his old vehicle and get one of the luxury vehicles. In the video shared by a Congress worker, Mr Gehlot is seen walking out of a Defender car. Amid speculations that he had finally changed his old vehicle, the former chief minister quickly clarified that he had not actually bought a Defender. This video is an old, official sources told NDTV, adding that it is from his Bikaner campaign during the Lok Sabha elections. Mr Gehlot is still very much using his old Tata Safari. लो जी गहलोत साहब को अभी कुछ दिन पहले एक समर्थक ने कहा था कि आप भी डिफेंडर गाड़ी ले लो इसके थोड़े दिन बाद ही आज गहलोत साहब डिफेंडर गाड़ी में नजर आये @ashokgehlot51 — Rahul Saini Chomu INC (@RahulsainiINC1) August 4, 2025 The conversation over the high-end luxury car, Defender, had started weeks ago over a viral video featuring Ashok Gehlot. Last month, when Mr Gehlot was driving back to Jaipur, he was stopped by a supporter on the outskirts of the city. The supporter, a tea seller, urged the former chief minister to upgrade his official vehicle, a Tata Safari Storme, to a Land Rover Defender, suggesting that it would "suit" him better. To this, Mr Gehlot had inquired, "What's a Defender?" The Land Rover Defender is a premium British SUV known for its rugged off-road capability, luxury features, and design. "It's a great car," the man replied. "I see all the politicians, they change cars, five in a year. But I've been seeing you for 15 years. Wherever you go, you take the same car, with the same number." Mr Gehlot asked, "Why, isn't this a good car?" to which he answered, "No, it's good. But sir, I don't feel good about it. You're my leader, I want you to have a nice car."
