A TV grab of Lok Sabha proceedings. (File photo)This Lok Sabha could be the least productive in history
Bharti Jain, TNN | Apr 29, 2013, 04.20 AM IST
NEW DELHI: The present Lok Sabha could well end up with the dubious distinction of being the least productive in terms of business transacted among those that completed their full five-year terms.
According to statistics compiled by the Lok Sabha secretariat, 1,157 hours of sittings had taken place until the 12th session of the 15th Lok Sabha, which was elected in May 2009.
Among the Houses that completed five-year terms, the 14th Lok Sabha has the worst record so far as it clocked just 1,737 hours of sittings. But even that could be beyond the present Lok Sabha, which will have to manage almost 600 hours of sittings in less than a year if it is to overtake its immediate predecessor.
Some Houses, like the 9th, 11th and 12th Lok Sabhas, did manage far fewer than 1,737 hours. But none of them completed their full terms. While the 9th Lok Sabha clocked 754 hours, it also had a life of barely two years (1989-91). Similarly, the 11th Lok Sabha clocked 814 hours in 1996-1997 and the 12th 575 hours in 1998-1999. Interestingly, the 6th Lok Sabha managed 1,753 hours of sittings even though it lasted just two years (1977-1979).
The current Lok Sabha's failure to transact any business since the resumption of the budget session on April 22 deepens a worrying trend that has seen an acrimonious House losing over half an hour to disruptions and adjournments for every hour of business transacted by it.
According to data maintained by the Lok Sabha secretariat, as many as 634 hours were lost on account of interruptions and adjournments until the 12th session of the 15th Lok Sabha, totalling more than 50% of 1,157 hours of sittings of the House.
The lament that our MPs are not the most diligent of public representatives seems borne out by their record in the current Lok Sabha with the treasury benches and the opposition clashing over scams like 2G, Commonwealth Games and Coalgate and regional parties also being major disrupters.
Contentious issues like Telangana and regional one-upmanship have spilt onto the floor of Lok Sabha. The situation has been aggravated by the government's floor management being average for most of this Lok Sabha's tenure while an aggressive opposition has not been inclined to cooperate either.
Sources in the parliamentary affairs ministry said nearly 41 hours were lost in the first half of the ongoing budget session due to adjournments following disruptions over Coalgate, Nirbhaya gang-rape and alleged atrocities against Tamils in Sri Lanka.
The opposition's post-recess protests over the leaked draft report of the JPC on 2G and alleged government interference in CBI's inquiry into the coal scam ensured a shutdown over the last four working days.
A rough calculation puts hours lost so far this session at nearly 65, and indications are that this figure may only rise in the days to come give the new low in government-opposition ties over the 2G draft report and the fresh controversy over Coalgate.
As demands for grants for four ministries of agriculture, coal, textiles and new and renewable energy face the guillotine at 6 pm on April 30, the current session - the 13th for the 15th Lok Sabha - could end up as the budget session that recorded maximum time lost.
While the budget session of 2011 recorded maximum disruptions, resulting in loss of nearly 70 hours, the 2012 budget session saw 48 hours being lost to adjournments, while the figure for 2010 was just 25 hours.
Although nearly 634 hours were lost over the last 12 sessions compared to sittings spread over 1,157 hours, the Lok Sabha did make up for lost time by sitting through lunch recess and extended hours totalling nearly 253 hours.
Of the 12 sessions completed by the 15th Lok Sabha until December 2012, the most productive in terms of hours of sittings was the 10th session - the budget session of 2012 - clocking 187 hours 36 minutes of work.
The least productive session was the winter session of 2010 - the sixth session of the current Lok Sabha - when disruptions over the opposition's demand for constitution of a JPC on the 2G scam saw the people's representatives working for just 7 hours 35 minutes as against more than 124 hours lost due to disruptions.

I believe MP's are not in mood to do something positive.. they just wanted to expend time because they are fully secure for at least 5 year and it will be sufficient enough to collect money by any means to use power to live remaining life peacefully ...... means you can't think about growth....

Those who accuse Opposition for disruption are part of Khangress conspiracy spread by its ideological supporters who believe everyone who isn't an ideological Khangress-vadi is either stupid or evil. Their conspiracy fills the human need to have something to struggle against. Conspiracy which, on a daily basis, actively seeks to destroy its political enemies with rhetoric, spin, half-truths, lies and distorted information. One common tactic used by the Khangress Attack Machine is to accuse their opponents of doing the exact same thing they are doing, causing an uproar that distracts the public from their true methods. One of the primary objectives of the Khangress Attack Machine is to constantly portray the economy-devastating, pro-Muslim, pro-Christian agendas in the most favorable light while demeaning and criticizing the tenets of Hinduism, RSS, Gurus, Dharma and free markets as unfair, Sanghi, Saffronist, Manuvadi, racist, caste-ist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic.

Both ruling party and opposition are responsible for this lowest hours of sitting. Perhaps opposition unless the Lok Sabha is adjourned on important aberrations of ruling patry they cannot bring them effectively to the knowledge of people. But this sort of adjournment was perhaps mostly done by Congress during BJP rule at centre Perhap BJP is paying congress with the same coin by frequent adjournment

It is all a matter of spin and assessment of productivity! after all productivity is always personal, and when once this norm is satisfied, collective productivity for the Nation is irrelevant. All politics is local, Late Tip O’Neil, a distinguished Speaker of US Congress used to say. In India productivity in every office and activity is personal, much like the Chinese incursion in Ladakh which he Hoi. PM described as local; after all they have only pitched their tents just 20 Km, inside Indian territory and not in Delhi! Mature leadership does not concern itself with such local issues. The Japanese are immature in fighting for a few rocky. Uninhabited islands with China, The rulers of India have more important matters on hand inter alia, G Auctions, Coal block leases, CBI reports, Coalition partners needs, Defense of Corruption, Rapes sanctioned or otherwise, unearthing huge notional losses to the national exchequer by administrations that have not been in office for my be tem years are just a few of the major problems on the plate.

In countries such as Italy and Japan, there are frequent elections and a change in the government and the prime ministers. Yet they are prosperous since they have a good beaurocracy which works without interference. Perhaps, we too must aim at this so the parliament and the politicians become irrelevant.The dependence on the politicians and the parliament must be reduced and a new system must be evolved that will fit us.Politics should not affect the managing of the country .

Ask ourselves a simple question: Do Indians have any choice to free themselves from an endless stream of corrupt governments in the center as well as the states ?. - The answer is NO. .The present system does not allow that to happen. The well entrenched political class will always win against the people, no matter what way the people vote. It is all fixed and this fixed system is called the FAKE DEMOCRACY of India. - Let us not fool ourselves. The congress party, the BJP and all the other state level parties.

India need a complete overall of its political system, starting with electoral reforms. . If people have the right to vote, then they must also have the right to recall. .But , as we can see, these Indian leaders will not allow that to happen. It will overturn their well oiled, time tested political control system, which they have evolved and fine tuned for decades. The bottom line: - People should not be given any power. But, only the feeling that they have the power . I.e: cast a dumb vote every 5 years. ( Of course, the netas make sure the vote is impotent , by electoral adjustments among themselves ). The same crooks get elected again and again, even when they are in the deathbeds or touching 90 years of age.

Hindus are cowards, and therefore they deserve to become extinct because they cannot defend their own country against Islam and Muslims. For what cause did noble souls like Prithviraj Chauhan, Shivaji, Rana Pratap etc. devote their entire lives? They devoted their lives to stop the Islamization of India. Yet, you coward Hindus are letting their sacrifice go in vain. Shame on you, you deserve to become extinct, and your country deserves to be Islamized. In nature, the strong destroys the weak. And this is happening in India as the Muslims (strong) continue to destroy the Hindus (weak). When will you Hindus realize that Muslims are nothing but parasites who will continue to eat you and your nation from inside until nothing is left of you or your nation?

Those who accuse Opposition for disruption are part of Khangress conspiracy spread by its ideological supporters who believe everyone who isn't an ideological Khangress-vadi is either stupid or evil or BJP. Their conspiracy fills the human need to have something to struggle against. Conspiracy which, on a daily basis, actively seeks to destroy its political enemies with rhetoric, spin, half-truths, lies and distorted information.

Khangress Attack Machine is to accuse their opponents of doing the exact same thing they are doing, causing an uproar that distracts the public from their true methods. One of the primary objectives of the Khangress Attack Machine is to constantly portray the economy-devastating, pro-Muslim, pro-Christian agendas in the most favorable light while demeaning and criticizing the tenets of Hinduism, RSS, Gurus, Dharma and free markets as unfair, Sanghi, Saffronist, Manuvadi, racist, caste-ist, sexist, bigoted and homophobic.

Dear Non-Muslim Indians..............Where is the Italian Clown of Indian Politics ? YES - Mr. Raul Vinci a.k.a. Rahul Gandhi ???? Usually, the Clown disappears in hiding whenever there is a UPA SCAM expose or a R@pe or an Islamic ALLAH TERRORISM attack. Whether it is Coal, CWG, 2G-3G, Chopper or 100 other SCAMs and Kashmir Jawan Beheading, CRPF camp attack, Twin Hydrabad blasts, Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Bangalore attacks etc, he will be in DORMANT mode HIDING as if he is the MASTERMIND behind it...............UPA, i.e. UNITED PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE is Ruling INDIA Since 2004, under the disable LEADERSHIP of Dr. Manmohan Singh. Since then INDIA IS A DEVELOPED NATION in terms of CORRUPTION, MALNUTRITION, INFLATION, UNEMPLOYMENT AND TERRORISM. The CREDIT goes to none other than CONGRESS, Which has NOT SPARED a SINGLE FIELD in its PATH of DEVELOPING these things, AMONG WHICH DEVELOPING CORRUPTION IS THEIR MAIN AGENDA. POINT WISE I WILL MENTION THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THIS GOVERNMENT. FRIENDS BELOW MENTIONED DATA ARE THE OFFICIAL FIGURES EXCLUSIVE OF THE HIDDEN ONES. 2G SCAM OF 1,76,000 CRORES, CWG SCAM OF 8000 CRORES, AADARSH HOUSING SCAM, MNREGA SCAM, AIR INDIA SCAM, NRHM SCAM, Chopper scam, 2G, 3G, STAMP, CWG AND MANY MORE TO THE COUNT. THE LIST IS ENDLESS. APART FROM THESE SCAMS, THEY DID A LOT, TO DESTROY THE NATION. FIRST THEY BROUGHT THEY COMMUNAL VOILENCE BILL, WHICH CLAIMS THAT, MAJORITY COMMUNITY (HINDUS) WILL ALWAYS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIOTS. AND STILL THEY CLAIM TO BE SO CALLED SECULAR. PERSONS WHO SUFFERED MOST DURING THEIR (UPA) RULE: THEIR VESTED INTEREST FORCED THEM TO INDULGE ARMY CHIEF GENERAL V K SINGH INTO UNNECESSARY CONTROVERSY REGARDING HIS DATE OF BIRTH.THEY EVEN NOT SPARED G MADHVAN NAIR, FORMER ISRO CHIEF AND THE MENTOR TO THE CHANDRAYAN MISSION. HE WAS THE BRAIN BEHIND THE ACHIEVEMENT OF INDIA IN THE SPACE TECHNOLOGY, FOR THE LAST DECADE. NOT ONLY HAD THESE EMINENT PERSONALITIES SUFFERED BUT ALSO THE COMMON PEOPLE. THERE WERE SEVERAL PRICE HIKES IN PETROL, DIESEL, GAS. ALSO PRICE RISE IN SUGAR, VEGETABLES ETC. IN THEIR RULE THE INFLATION WAS AT ITS HIGHEST BEST AND GDP AT ITS LOWEST BEST. FRIENDS, EVEN THIEVES LOOT AT FAR AWAY DISTANCE FROM THEIR HOME, BUT (CONGRESS) HAVE LOOTED THEIR HOME (MOTHERLAND INDIA). BECAUSE THESE CONGRESS PEOPLE UNDER THE ITALIAN MAFIA (SAINA MAINO, RAUL, BIANCA, ROBERT VADRA etc) DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER INDIA AS THEIR MOTHERLAND.' AT LAST I WOULD SAY, THE WORLD CONSIDERS INDIA AS A DEVELOPING NATION, BUT CONGRESS LED UPA HAS TURNED INDIA INTO THE LIST OF DEVELOPED NATION. DEVELOPED IN TERMS OF CORRUPTION, UNEMPLOYMENT, MALNUTRITION, TERRORISM. #AMEN

Dr Manmohan Singh run central government has been the most inefficient government of India causing widespread corruption. Dr Singh is weak and knows his wicknesses. He is merely a puppet of a foreign born woman Sonia "Gandhi" who wants Dr Singh to keep the PM's chair worm for her son Rahul Gandhi. Dr Singh has no grassroot support and hence is fearful to contest an election. He is the only Prime Minister who has never contested an election for the parliament making Indian democracy a mockery.

Opposing any thing and every thing for being in opposition is not healthy for the nation. The system of no confidence motion followed by the fall of the government and next general election is destructive. Firstly, If the elected government falls, the president should be able to constitute a national government (party less). The prime minister must be from the largest party / confederation of parties and the number of ministers must be divided on the basis of the strength of each political party Individuals and independents must be avoided as far as possible. The term of such government must be for the remaining portion of the five year term for which the first government was formed so that the wastage of avoidable election expenses can be stopped. Secondly, the pay and perks of all the members including the speaker and ministers be not paid for the days the legislature is on standstill due to disobedience to the chair.

We measure the project status using KPI'S. (key performance indicators). By just referring to these, we can get a feeling about the trends of project; Probably, our constitution need to be amended, to include similar set up, on PDCA (Plan DO CHECK ASSESS) cycle of our Parliament. Taking the basis from the pre election agenda/promises of our GREAT parties, formalizing after the govt formation as PLAN; splitting the plan into 5 years of milestones; Audit and measure the progress of the planned along with the new issues and subjects, to submit the report to the citizens, for whom they are responsible. Lok Pal bill may be one of the starting points.

NARENDRA MODI is an Encyclopedia on POLITICS - RELIGION and SOCIAL Subjects. His last visit to KERALA and DEHRADUN was outstanding and truly it's a NIGHT-MARE for Congress as he has Captured more Political Ground and Mileage. He knows he faces Political UN-TOUCHABLITY but it's also a fact that he rules AAM-AADMI's hearts. Today, India needs a PATRIOTIC - PM like Narendra Modi who's mantra is India-1st and has Vision to bring back it's GLORY - DIGNITY and PRIDE of Nation and People - Jai HIND / Jai MODI Jiiiiiii !!!

Least productive in terms of business inside parliament. But best in terms of business with Swiss bank. We have a dozing PM who is a symbol of helplessness and sorrow watching the mega corruption deals happening under his his nose, but can't utter a single word. Aam admi is helpless too, as he can't do anything but ridiculed and kicked around for 5 years after voting the thugs to power. Will it be any different next 5 years? Kick the Congress out. Give a chance to Modi who is most promising at the moment. He has no corruption charges and demonstrated clean governance. Don't be fooled by the religious and pseudo-secular talk of the con-men.
