Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday suggested that it would be "really good" if both central and state governments agree not to follow the ordinance route for enacting laws, but stressed that political consensus is needed for it. It is not going to help if political parties have an attitude that "if I am in power, I will issue ordinances. When you are in power, don't issue ordinances", Naidu said in the Upper House after an opposition member expressed concern over the Centre taking the ordinance route. The chairman said the "spirit of democracy" in the context of the ordinance mechanism should be understood and to the extent possible, the government should return to the legislative process for enacting laws.
