**New Delhi, [Date]** – The Parliament Budget Session resumed today following a Holi break, with a busy agenda across both houses. The Lok Sabha will see the presentation of key reports, including those from the Standing Committee on Defence regarding the Ministry of Defence’s 2025-26 budget grants by BJP MP Radha Mohan Singh and Samajwadi Party MP Virendra Singh.

Meanwhile, the Rajya Sabha will dedicate time to a discussion of the Manipur budget and continue debate on the functioning of the Ministry of Railways, a discussion initiated by Samik Bhattacharya earlier this month.
