New Delhi, Nov 30 (LatestNewsX) – Riding the wave of the NDA’s landslide win in Bihar, the central leadership eyes Monday’s Winter Session of Parliament with fresh vigor and a bold reform agenda, spearheaded by the long‑anticipated bill that would, for the first time, invite private firms into India’s civil‑nuclear arena.
The three‑week meeting, spread over 15 sittings and set to finish on December 19, follows the near‑total wipe‑out of the Monsoon Session and is clearly shaped by the Bihar outcome, as the government benches are resolute about pushing a host of bills through.
At the heart of the agenda lies the Atomic Energy Bill, 2025, which would establish new rules for producing, developing, and regulating atomic energy while carefully permitting private players to generate power under tightened state supervision.
Other priority items include the Higher Education Commission of India Bill—designed to grant universities greater autonomy under a single, transparent regulator; a National Highways amendment to speed up and green‑light land acquisition; revisions to company and LLP laws to make business even easier; and the sweeping Securities Markets Code, 2025, which would consolidate and modernise three existing capital‑market statutes.
Additional legislative work will cover changes to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, two carry‑over bills from the previous session, and the first supplementary demand for grants. One proposed bill has already been shelved: after fierce pushback from both allies and opposition, the government has withdrawn its plan to allow the President to directly set regulations for the Union Territory of Chandigarh.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju convened an all‑party meeting on Sunday in hopes of ensuring smoother floor coordination and preventing a repeat of the last session’s chaos.
Meanwhile, the opposition is gearing up for a sharp offensive, aiming to press the government over the ongoing Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in twelve states and Union territories—an operation many parties label a targeted deletion drive—as well as the continuing air‑pollution crisis choking the national capital.
With Bihar’s victory still fresh and both sides digging in, the upcoming weeks promise a combustible mix of landmark reform bills, heated political clashes, and a faint hope that this time Parliament might actually bring laws to life.
