The monsoon session of Parliament is not going on due to the uproar. In the first two weeks of the monsoon session, which runs from July 18 to August 12, the proceedings had to be adjourned due to uproar by the opposition and sometimes by the ruling party. In these two weeks, 60-60 hours i.e. 120 hours was to be worked in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, but the work was done for 15.7 hours in the Lok Sabha and 11.1 hours in the Rajya Sabha, i.e. some 26.8 hours.
In the monsoon session, the government had announced to introduce 32 bills in both the houses. So far only two bills have been passed despite the taxpayer spending about Rs 100 crore. Both these bills have been passed by the Lok Sabha. Not a single bill has been passed by the Rajya Sabha. 30 bills still pending.
According to the report of the Lok Sabha Secretariat in the year 2018, Rs 1.6 crore is spent every hour in running the House. Inflation has increased in the four years since then. But, on the basis of the 2018 report itself, then the cost of running the house for a day comes to about ten crore rupees. In the first two weeks of the monsoon session, about Rs 100 crore was spent in the ten-day proceedings.
