Rs 25 crore plus! That is the cost of six days of disruptions in the monsoon session of Parliament. This staggering figure, translating to Rs 1.25 lakh per wasted minute, isn't just a fiscal loss. It represents a deeper rot: a culture of deliberate obstruction, perfected by the Congress-led UPA bloc and their I.N.D.I.A allies.

The numbers are damning. In the opening three days of the session, the Rajya Sabha functioned for barely 4.4 hours. The Lok Sabha managed a meagre 54 minutes. That means 816 minutes of wasted time in the Rajya Sabha, ₹10.2 crore gone! Another 1,026 minutes lost in the Lok Sabha, ₹12.83 crore down the drain. For what? Not a national emergency, not a crisis of governance, but a pre-scripted theatre of chaos by an Opposition unable to win the people's mandate at the ballot box and desperate to stall governance inside Parliament.

And this ₹25 crore is only the beginning. If the same pattern continues, the loss over the entire monsoon session could skyrocket to a shocking ₹189 crore. The figure is not speculative; it's derived from the daily operational cost of Parliament and the rate of adjournments already witnessed.

What makes this fiscal haemorrhage worse is the sheer bad faith driving it. The Modi government has made it clear it is ready for debate, especially on Operation Sindoor, a matter of national security and humanitarian significance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi have repeatedly appealed to the Opposition to engage in constructive discussion. Yet, the Congress-led I.N.D.I.A. bloc treats disruption as its primary strategy.

As observed, this is no longer dissent; it is manufactured chaos weaponised to erode governance. Every wasted minute burns taxpayer money that could fund irrigation for farmers, roads for labourers, and student scholarships. If ₹25 crore plus in six days does not shake the conscience of these MPs, the looming prospect of ₹189 crore set ablaze in the name of political theatrics should. Every adjournment isn't just a loss of time; it is a blow to the dignity of the nation's highest institution.
