INFO:

The monsoon session of the 18th Lok Sabha will get underway on June 24 and conclude on July 3. Since it is the inaugural session of the newly elected members to the lower house of the Parliament, a new Speaker will be elected on June 26.  With the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) securing 240 seats, 32 short of a clear majority, the role of NDA allies such as Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Janata Dal (United) is more crucial than ever in shaping the new government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
