A total of 13 MPs from both the ruling and opposition parties have been nominated for the Sansad Ratna Award 2023.
Eight of the 13 MPs are Lok Sabha members and five are Rajya Sabha members.
A jury committee of eminent parliamentarians and civil society members, led by Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and co-chaired by former Chief Election Commissioner S. Krishnamurthy, nominated the MPs.
Under the Special Award category, the jury also nominated two departmentally related Standing Committees and one eminent leader.
The nominees for their performance include Congress’ Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary and Kuldeep Rai Sharma, the BJP’s Bidyut Baran Mahato, Dr Sukant Majumdar, Vijaykumar Gavit, Gopal Shetty, and Sudhir Gupta, and the NCP’s Dr. Amol Ramsingh Kolhe under various categories.
Nominations for the award are based on MP performance during debates, questions, and private members’ bills from the start of the 17th Lok Sabha until the end of the Winter Session in 2022. The MPs’ performance data is derived from data provided by PRS.
