Who says MPs delay work? They took only 24 hours to pass a bill allowing criminals to contest elections

IIPM BUSINESS & ECONOMY

After musing for a while in the mid-90s, one day, former president R. Venkata raman observed that many woes could be spared if people read their job descriptions. The ‘90s have passed, but not much has changed since for our dear MPs, who might make it to the Guinness record list for the amount of bills left pending by them.

The primary task of an MP is to make laws. That is, pass a bill, and everything else follows logically. But, this has subtly receded over the years. Particularly, since voters began to avoid giving parties brute majorities in elections. The need to cobble together coalitions of parties with varying priorities, may be now affecting the job of making laws. Routinely, politicians rise to defend turf in the most hallowed of portals, the Indian Parliament. Arguments dominate, not debate. By the end of a session, there’s never much progress. This time, as the monsoon session of Parliament convenes (on July 24, 2006), there is a whopping number of 55 pending bills, four times the number of bills passed in the previous session.
