“You have asked no questions, brought no private member bill and participated in just two debates in the current Lok Sabha,” he was reminded.
He responded by saying that he did not look at participation in Parliament in these terms.
Firstly, as an organisational general secretary he had spent a lot of time travelling across the country.
Moreover, he saw himself as a part of the large team of UPA MPs driving forward a collective legislative agenda.
As a member of this team he had actively participated in formulating his party's legislative agenda and publicly fought for legislations like the new Land Acquisition Bill, the Lokpal Bill, the bill for protection of livelihood of street vendors, RTI, MNREGA and the food security law, he said.
