Parliament's Monsoon Session 2026 opened on July 20 already fractured over the government's recognition of the NCPI, a new outfit formed by 20 rebel Trinamool MPs, and was then dominated for days by the Opposition's demand for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG paper leak. With Pradhan gone, an Income Tax Amendment Bill, a Supreme Court judges law and a politically explosive delimitation proposal are still waiting to be taken up.
For more than six weeks the Opposition has demanded Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the NEET-UG paper leak. A Gen Z-led protest and a hunger strike have widened it from a Parliament issue into a street movement.
The Monsoon Session running July 20 to August 13 sets up a confrontation over the Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, a Supreme Court judges law, and the still-unlisted but politically explosive delimitation and One Nation One Election proposals.
Parliament's Monsoon Session is scheduled from July 20 to August 13, 2026, with the government set to renew its push for constitutional amendments on delimitation and women's reservation. The NDA needs a two-thirds majority and is courting regional parties.
The government has notified a Delimitation Commission to redraw all 543 Lok Sabha constituencies using 2021 Census data. Southern states fear the population-based formula will cut their share of seats, and have urged the Centre to weigh development indicators.
