May 11, 2016 09:33

Despite deep fissures emerging between BJP and Congress over the AgustaWestland defence deal, Parliament suffered limited damage with Lok Sabha working overtime recording 120 per cent productivity, while Rajya Sabha recorded 84 per cent.

LS had an unblemished record in conducting question hour so far with 100 per cent productivity while question hour functioned 63 per cent of the time in RS.

This is just a shade lower than the budget session 2016 when LS functioned 121 per cent of the time and RS for 96 per cent, according to analysis by PRS Legislative Research.
