Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Sunday. Discussions are reported to have included the Bihar elections, the parliamentary deadlock, and international issues. The Rashtrapati Bhavan shared a photograph of the meeting.
PM Modi Meets President: PM Narendra Modi made a sudden visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan to meet with President Droupadi Murmu. This meeting occurred at a time when the Parliament's monsoon session is facing a deadlock and political clashes are escalating in Bihar over the voter list. It is believed that the meeting involved discussions on serious issues such as the Bihar assembly elections, opposition protests in Parliament, and international pressures.
PM Modi Arrives at Rashtrapati Bhavan Unexpectedly
On Sunday, PM Modi met with President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This meeting took place without prior notice, sparking various discussions in political circles. The Rashtrapati Bhavan shared a photograph of the meeting on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), showing the Prime Minister and President in conversation.
Although the Rashtrapati Bhavan has not shared any official agenda for the meeting, political experts believe that there may be several timely and serious reasons behind this visit.
Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in Bihar Becomes a Political Issue
A major issue that may have been part of the Prime Minister and President's conversation is the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in Bihar.
The Congress and other opposition parties allege that this exercise, being conducted by the Election Commission, is being used to remove millions of Biharis from the voter list. Former Finance Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram has also alleged that this is changing the electoral landscape of the states.
The possibility of discussing this sensitive issue in the Prime Minister and President's conversation cannot be ruled out, especially when the opposition in Parliament is putting pressure on the government regarding this issue.
Continuous Deadlock in Parliament
Another important reason for this meeting may be the ongoing deadlock in Parliament. The monsoon session, which began on July 21, has seen heavy contention between the ruling party and the opposition. The opposition is repeatedly disrupting the proceedings of the House, demanding a discussion on sensitive issues such as 'Operation Sindoor', which is affecting legislative work.
As the constitutional head, the President also keeps an eye on the situation in Parliament, and in such a situation, it can be considered a natural step for the Prime Minister to directly inform her and seek advice.
International Pressure Could Also Be a Reason
Another aspect of this meeting may be international pressure. US President Donald Trump has spoken about imposing a 25% tariff on India and penalties for buying military equipment and crude oil from Russia.
Although this statement came during a recent campaign and not during his tenure, it is a matter of concern for India's strategic and economic interests. It is possible that the Prime Minister informed the President about these international challenges and discussed the way forward.
