BJP's SC/ST MPs Fall Short in Lok Sabha Debates: A Shocking Disengagement

In a glaring indication of disengagement, the 46 BJP Members of Parliament elected from Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe constituencies have participated in an average of just 13.9 debates during the 18th Lok Sabha. This is significantly lower than the House average of 21.5 debates and even lags behind their BJP peers from other constituencies, who averaged 19.7 debates.

This dismal performance raises critical questions about the accountability of elected representatives, particularly those from marginalized communities who are expected to voice the concerns of their constituents. Why are these MPs not engaging more actively in crucial discussions that impact the lives of the very people they represent?

Citizens deserve to know: what commitments were made by these representatives during their election campaigns, and why are they not fulfilling their roles in the Lok Sabha? As reported by The Hindu, this trend highlights a troubling disconnect between promises made and actions taken, particularly in a political landscape that is increasingly focused on representation and social justice.
