Sachin Tendulkar’s cricket career statistics may be among the best in the world, but his Parliament stats are pretty abysmal. But despite that the cricketer might have got a second chance to be on a Parliamentary Panel on Information Technology.
The Indian Express had a pretty small report on the cricketing great’s performance in Parliament and how that hadn’t cost him his spot in a Parliamentary Panel.
He failed to attend any of the 12 meetings of the Standing Committee on Information Technology held last year. But that didn’t cost him a place on the panel and instead, he was re-nominated.
And he repaid the faith, by staying consistent. Tendulkar was absent for the first meeting of the newly constituted panel.
Not surprisingly, no one was amused:
But then is that really a surprise?
Data from policy monitoring site PRS India reveals:
- Tendulkar has participated in 0 debates
- He has just 8 percent attendance
- Has proposed no Private Members’ Bills
- He has asked just 14 questions in the four years he’s been an MP
