PM turned Parliament into 'deep & dark chamber': Derek O'Brien

In a post on X, the Parliamentary Party Leader of the TMC in Rajya Sabha also said that this was the first time that no deputy speaker was appointed, and the prime minister did not answer a single question.

"Mr Narendra Modi, since you are in my city today, care to tell us all why you have mocked Parliament and turned it into a deep dark chamber," he said.

"Goodbye to the 17th Lok Sabha. This was a Lok Sabha of many dubious firsts," he said.

"In terms of number of sittings, this was the least productive Lok Sabha (lowest days worked) since 1952. No Deputy Speaker was appointed for its entirety," he said. The 17th Lok Sabha had the lowest number of sittings among the Lok Sabhas that had a full term of five years.
