Parliament Winter Session to Be Held from December 1-19, Announces Kiren Rijiju
The Government of India has officially scheduled the winter session of the Parliament for 1 to 19 December 2025, as announced by Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju. The session marks the final legislative sitting of the year and comes immediately after the Bihar Assembly elections, setting the tone for a significant parliamentary agenda.
Key Highlights
The session has been approved by President Droupadi Murmu and is subject to the exigencies of parliamentary business.
Minister Rijiju expressed that the session will aim to be “constructive & meaningful … strengthen our democracy & serve the aspirations of the people.
The schedule reflects a relatively short session (just 15 working days) compared to earlier ones, raising questions from opposition parties about the Government’s legislative priorities.
Key legislative business is expected, including the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirtieth Amendment) Bill, the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Bill, the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, among others.
Why It Matters
This session is significant for several reasons:
It follows immediately after the Bihar elections, meaning political temperature in Parliament will be high, with opposition likely to focus on voter-list revisions, alleged vote fraud, and other electoral processes.
With a packed legislative agenda and limited sittings, the Government is under pressure to complete crucial business efficiently. Disruptions or delays could reduce productivity further. Previous sessions saw high waste of time due to adjournments and protests.
The outcome and tenor of this session will shape policy and governance heading into 2026, making it a vital period for India’s legislative governance.
What to Watch
Productivity vs disruptions: Will the Parliament maintain high productivity or will disruptions dominate the calendar?
Major Bills: Which landmark legislation gets pushed through and how quickly?
Opposition Strategy: How will opposition parties position themselves in debates, especially around electoral issues and governance oversight?
Government Agenda: Will the Government clearly lay out its priorities for the session and deliver on them?
