As a young man in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore, outgoing vice president Venkaiah Naidu was drawn to a shakha (branch) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, ...
While his love for acronyms and alliteration was often at display during his speeches, as chairman of the standing committees, he meant business. Naidu‘s ability to step in as a crisis manager and his parliamentary acumen were a key reason the party found in him the perfect fit for the chairperson’s position in the Rajya Sabha where it did not have numbers on its side. Sometimes, it was a chiding remark to a member, reminding them of rules, and on other occasions, an amusing acronym that had the House cackling. As a prominent face of the BJP in the southern region, he overcame the challenges of linguistic barriers and carved a niche for himself in a party that was perceived predominantly an upper caste, Hindi speaking outfit. As president, he was known to epitomize the Sangh’s instruction of charivati charivati, or keep moving, keep moving. True to his style, Naidu quipped that he was given a promotion. As general secretary of the party, his legacy was grooming a generation of leaders who eventually rose to great heights. It was his push for speaking in languages other than Hindi and English that saw members in the Rajya Sabha hold forth in tongues that had seldom or never been used during House proceedings since 1952. He also did not allow other regional leaders such as Jana Krishnamurthy, also a former BJP president, Ananth Kumar and Jagannathrao Joshi, among others, to eclipse his growth in the party. As a young man in Andhra Pradesh’s Nellore, he was drawn to a shakha (branch) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, tempted by the games that he saw being played there. At the national level, he became the national general secretary between 1993 and 2000 and held the post of BJP’s national president twice between July and December 2002 and then between January and October 2004. It was his love for food, particularly non-vegetarian dishes, that played a key role in cementing his political affiliation and ideological affirmation.
A reluctant Vice-President who presided over the Rajya Sabha at its most raucous, the BJP veteran will be remembered fondly by everyone, including the ...
On many occasions, he got the Opposition all agitated, but at the end of it, a good man exits. At the height of the beef controversy, Naidu once said, “Some people keep saying such things (that the BJP wantts to impose vegetarianism). It is people’s choice to eat what they want.” Born at Chavatapalem in SPS Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh on July 1, 1949, Naidu had already joined the RSS and was a member of the ABVP by the time he joined Andhra University for a bachelor’s degree in law. His supporters, however, say that with hardly any meeting point between the Opposition and the government, there was little Naidu could have done. As Jairam Ramesh said in a tweet, “So it is curtains for Muppavarapu Venkaiah Naidu-garu. His humour and wit will be missed. Yet, several leaders in the Opposition admit that Naidu holds no malice, with many holding him in high regard. His term often saw him brooking no indiscipline in the House, which had the Opposition complaining that he bowed to the government. His tenure, which coincided with relations between the government and Opposition hitting a new low, saw the Rajya Sabha often turning into a political battleground. According to Rajya Sabha records, the 13 sessions that Naidu presided over were chaotic. His recent “operation-cooperation-separation” remark was in response to frequent disruptions in the Upper House by Opposition members seeking a discussion on price rise. While his critics say that despite his constitutional role, Naidu’s heart never stopped beating for the BJP, a party he served for several decades before becoming Vice-President, they agree that he is among the most amiable chairpersons the Rajya Sabha has had, with friends on both sides of the aisle. In the BJP, Naidu was seen as L K Advani’s protege.
Naidu has visited all states and UTs almost multiple times. He has also released several books, visited institutions, and addressed convocation among ...
Out of the 13 full sessions he presided over till the Budget session this year, the productivity of the first five sessions has been in the range of only 6.80 percent to 58.80 percent. The outgoing Vice President visited several scientific institutions and apprised himself of new developments in research and development. During his term as Rajya Sabha chairman, Naidu presided over 13 Parliament sessions in the last five years.
New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) The tenure of Rajya Sabha chairman M Venkaiah Naidu was marked by low productivity of the House to start with, but it staged a ...
Analysis of time spent by the House on different items of business for 41 years since 1978 revealed that Rajya Sabha has been evolving more as a deliberative body.

Four languages — Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani and Santhali — have been used for the first time in 2020 since the House came into being in 1952. For the first time, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat is bringing out such a publication on the five-year tenure of a chairman to be used for ready reference.

Analysis of time spent by the House on different items of business for 41 years since 1978 revealed that Rajya Sabha has been evolving more as a deliberative body. While the House functioned mostly for 400 to 500 hours per year during 1978-1990, it fell to over 300 hours or more per year subsequently and dropped to below 300 hours per year since 2010. On an average, about 78 per cent of the members daily sign the attendance register as required for the daily allowance to be paid, while 2.56 per cent never attended the proceedings on a daily basis.

The proceedings of the House that day, as expected, were raucous.
