Parliament Diary

The state of Uttar Pradesh has 80 constituencies, which will go to poll over six days in April-May.

Members of Parliament have four important responsibilities: to pass
laws, ensure that the government performs its duties satisfactorily,
represent the views and aspirations of the people of their constituency
in Parliament and to approve and oversee the financial proposals of the
government. Debates, Questions and Private Member Bills are important
mechanisms by which MPs fulfill their responsibilities. Attendance
during Parliament Sessions also indicates an MPs commitment to give
effect to his role.
