evidence: For the first time in two years, the winter session of Parliament showed the UPA government's success in getting key economic reforms bill approved in Parliament. Chetan Chauhan and Saubhadra Chatterji report. For the first time in two years the winter session of Parliament showed the UPA government's success in getting key economic reforms bill approved in Parliament and also showcased its willingness to take the Opposition on board on important legislative matters. [...] An unusual inertia had hit the UPA-2 government after a series of scams rocked it and there was a feeling that leadership was not willing to take any political risks. The winter session taking place after a major Cabinet reshuffle has shown a reversal in trend with the government willing to talk with the Opposition on reform bills.
