Jaya Bachchan's Committee Shuffle in Rajya Sabha

Jaya Bachchan, a Rajya Sabha member from the Samajwadi Party, has moved from the Communications and Information Technology Committee to the Labour, Textiles, and Skill Development Committee. The reshuffle includes several other members, with new appointments across various Parliamentary Standing Committees, reflecting strategic adjustments.

Samajwadi Party's Rajya Sabha member, Jaya Bachchan, has stepped down from the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Communications and Information Technology, previously chaired by BJP's Nishikant Dubey.

She will now contribute to the Labour, Textiles, and Skill Development Committee, led by former Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai, as per a Rajya Sabha secretariat bulletin.

Trinamool Congress's Saket Gokhale replaces Bachchan in the Communications and IT panel. Meanwhile, CPI-M's A A Rahim and R Girirajan transition to the Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, chaired by Shashi Tharoor, while JD(U)'s Sanjay Kumar Jha and BJP's Dhairyashil Patil join the Water Resources Committee. Jha also oversees the Transport, Tourism, and Culture Committee.
