The arrogance of the BJP was on full display in the manner in which the affairs of the last two parliaments, and more pronouncedly in the just concluded 17th parliament, were conducted. The arrogance emanated from the fact that the BJP had an invincible majority and it did not think coordination with the opposition was needed. Floor management was something that the BJP never bothered about in the last 10 years in power. They were focussed only on getting their way without concern for parliamentary customs and decency even if it meant instigating disruptions and walkouts by the Opposition to ensure the passing of Bills which had wider ramifications without discussions. Such instigation often occurred in the shape of some or the other policy pronouncement just before the beginning of the session or sometimes during the session too.
