Data from the Rajya Sabha indicates that during the last seven sessions (249th to 255th) i.e., during the term of the 17th Lok Sabha, there was not a single sitting with more than 90% attendance. Data also indicates that among the nominated MPs, M C Mary Kom and Ranjan Gogoi have the lowest attendance. In the earlier Story, we analysed the attendance of Members of Parliament (MPs) of the Lok Sabha from various Political parties during the sessions of 17th Lok Sabha. In this story, we look at the attendance of the sitting members of the Rajya Sabha and sessions (249 to 255 sessions) after the commencement of the 17th Lok Sabha & the parties they represent. Since the Rajya Sabha is a continuous body and not subject to dissolution, the sessions, as also the sittings, are numbered consecutively and continuously since its inception. However, our analysis is limited to the seven sessions held after the commencement of the 17th Lok Sabha, which is the tenure of the current government starting in 2019. Methodology: Since the Prime Minister, Ministers, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and Deputy Chairman (HDC) are not required to record their signature, Rajya Sabha does not consider their attendance. MPs who are ministers at least during any one session are also not considered. Those members who resigned or have passed away are also not considered. The attendance of MPs who were elected to the house during any of these seven sessions is calculated accordingly. As per the rules of the Rajya Sabha, a member is considered present if he signs the attendance register. If a member was present on a particular day but did not sign the attendance register, he is considered absent. Our analysis also uses the same rules and considers those who signed as present. Only 42 MPs have more than 90% attendance Rajya Sabha met for seven (7) sessions (249 to 255) after the commencement of the 17th Lok Sabha, for a total of 146 days. Of the 237 sitting members, 23 members held positions where attendance was not required which means only 214 members were required to record their attendance in Rajya Sabha during these sessions. Of these, the latest data indicates that only 42 MPs have more than 90% attendance, 80 members have less than 50% attendance. Only one MP, S.R. Balasubramoniyan of AIADMK attended all the 146 days and has 100% attendance. Three parties have more than 50% of their members with more than 90% attendance Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) with 3 MPs, Janata Dal (United) -JD(U) with 2 MPs and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) with just one MP are the only parties with more than 50% of its members attending more than 90% of the sittings of the Rajya Sabha so far. No national party has more than 50% of its members with 90% and above attendance. 10 MPs of the BJP and 5 of the INC have more than 90% of attendance and these two are the only recognized national parties who have MPs with more than 90% attendance. No other MP of a national party recorded 90% and above attendance.
