Business Standard
Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu, known for his witty one-liners, is keen to be seen as a chair who means business. In sharp contrast to the noisy start to the Winter Session, the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday set a record after 15 years by taking up all the 15 listed starred questions during the Question Hour, while 18 members spoke on issues of public importance during the Zero Hour.
