The new council of ministers' parliamentary performance
The Council of Minister was expanded today. 19 Members of Parliament were sworn in as Ministers of State. The table below is a snapshot of their activity in Parliament during the period of the current Lok Sabha, with the last row indicating the average for all Lok Sabha MPs.
In the case of the six Rajya Sabha members, we have collated the data for the period of their current term. As each of them started their tenure on different dates, their activity would depend on the length of the current term till now.
Further, Prakash Javadekar was elevated from Minister of State (Independent Charge) to Cabinet Minister rank. Since he was already a minister, he did not sign the attendance register, ask questions, take part in debates as an ordinary member or introduce private member bills during his current term.
