20 Trinamool MPs are set to merge with a tiny party, six Uddhav Sena rebels will join Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and the DMK is officially asking to sit far away from Congress. The Opposition bloc is shrinking; not because of elections, but because of defections. Meanwhile, two big bills are coming: one to remove leaders from office if jailed for 30 days, and another to push for ‘One Nation, One Election’. Add to that the resurrection of the women’s reservation bill; and what looks like a normal session might actually reshape Indian politics. The real drama won’t be in speeches. It’ll be in who’s sitting where, who’s still in charge, and who’s quietly losing ground.
