The previous monsoon session of parliament had seen successive disruptions due to the BJP's demand for the prime minister's resignation and cancellation of coal blocks.
According to PRS Legislative Research, a research initiative that tracks working of parliament, only 17 percent of parliament's productive time has been spent on bills in the 15th Lok Sabha.
"Frequent disruptions in the last few sessions have meant lesser time for discussing and passing bills. In the monsoon session earlier this year, only four of the 30 bills listed for passing were able to get parliament's approval.
"While the monsoon session was disrupted for nearly 80 percent of scheduled time, it has been seen that even when parliament functions, the bulk of its time is spent on non-legislative business," Devika Malik of PRS Legislative Research, told IANS.
