Parliament Updates LIVE: A political fight is expected in Parliament today as Rajya Sabha takes three controversial farm bills branded by Congress and various opposition parties as “anti-farmers” and “pro-corporate”, leaving to the BJP reaching out to various regional support teams. However, the numbers appear to be in favor of the ruling dispensation for Rajya Sabha to pass these bills, while the Lower House has already passed them despite a key NDA member, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), opposes them. Some key BJP leaders are said to be in contact with various opposition parties outside of Congress to seek the support of their Rajya Sabha members for these bills. While the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) does not yet have a clear majority of its own in the 245-member Rajya Sabha, many regional parties have backed it in recent sessions to ensure passage of various government-proposed legislation. .
BJP leaders expressed confidence that they will gain the support of more than 130 members, including nine from the AIADMK and six from the YSR Congress, who are not part of the ruling alliance if a division of votes is sought on these bills. Another regional party, Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), was also being courted by the BJP, but its boss and Telangana Prime Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Saturday asked his party’s MPs to vote against these draft bills. law, claiming that they would cause great injustice to farmers. The BJP itself has the highest tally with 86 seats, followed by 40 from Congress.

Several other regional parties, including the three-member Aam Aadmi Party, the Samajwadi Party with eight seats and the BSP with four, have joined the ranks of the opposition in protest against these bills, but it may not be enough to hinder their approval.
