The upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, scheduled from July 20 to August 13, is expected to be a high-stakes political battle.

The four-week-long session will reportedly have 19 sittings.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, nearing a two-thirds majority, plans to introduce several important legislations during this period.

These include two Constitutional Amendment Bills, one on women's reservation and delimitation with proposed amendments.
