Parliament Restructures Key Standing Committees: Rahul Gandhi, Kangana Ranaut Among Prominent Appointments

In a significant political move, the Indian Parliament on Thursday restructured its 24 key standing committees, assigning critical roles to prominent leaders across party lines.

Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, has been appointed to the Defence Affairs Committee, chaired by BJP’s Radha Mohan Singh.

Notably, Kangana Ranaut, the actress-turned-politician, has been named a member of the Communications and IT Committee, marking her first official parliamentary role.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor will lead the Foreign Affairs Committee, while Digvijaya Singh is set to chair the Women, Education, Youth, and Sports Affairs panel.

Other significant appointments include Nishikant Dubey for Communications, Ram Gopal Yadav for Health, and Radha Mohan Das Agarwal for Home Affairs.

These committees play a crucial role in reviewing government policies, scrutinizing budgets, and offering key legislative recommendations, ensuring robust parliamentary oversight.
