There will be four sessions for the MPs in this workshop. The first session will be on Self-reliant India, Swadeshi Bharat, Ease of Doing Business, and Youth Power and Employment. The second session will be on the effective use of social media by MPs. The third session will be of the parliamentary committee groups. Discussions will be held with MPs according to the parliamentary committees of different ministries.
Discussions will be held on the importance of parliamentary committee proceedings, preparation for the Parliament session, use of parliamentary rules, study of ministry reports, information on subordinate legislation, behavior and precautions as an MP, participation in the direction meeting, etc. In the fourth session, discussions will be held on the maritime area, the Left Wing area, the rural area, the urban area, and the hilly and North-Eastern region.
Training on the Vice Presidential election will be provided. Discussions will be held on the PM Surya Ghar Yojana, TB Free India, MP Sports, Tiffin meeting, and innovations in activism in parliamentary constituencies. On Monday, MPs will be trained about the Vice Presidential election. Along with this, MPs will also be informed about the process of the Vice Presidential election, the way of voting, the precautions of voting, etc.
The Vice Presidential election will witness a direct contest between CP Radhakrishnan, the candidate of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), and B. Sudarshan Reddy, the retired judge of the Supreme Court, who is the opposition’s candidate. However, Radhakrishnan appears to be ahead in terms of numbers. The BJP says that changes in GST will reduce the tax burden on the people and give impetus to the economy.
The BJP and its allies hope that the positive sentiment among the people regarding the fall in prices of many goods will help them in the Bihar assembly elections. Elections are expected to be held in Bihar in November. The BJP workshop will have several sessions, including lessons on the history and development of the party, as well as improving the efficiency of the MPs.
