The Indian Matrix(@indianmatrix):As Parliament reconvenes, the numbers in both Houses will shape the fate of every major bill. The majority required depends on the nature of the legislation. Ordinary bills need a simple majority, while constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority of members present and voting. The NDA enters this session from a position of strength. In the Rajya Sabha, it is within striking distance of the two-thirds mark. In the Lok Sabha, it is comfortably above the simple majority but remains short of a two-thirds majority on its own. In Parliament, numbers decide the fate of legislation.
