On Friday, 50 speakers of 25 parties took part in the Rajya Sabha on the vote of thanks to the President’s address. This has been one of the longest debates involving so many members.
BJP’s 18, Congress’s 7 and 25 MPs from other parties participated in the debate. Approximately 15 hours were set for these.
