Data in English on discussions in State Assemblies

[Eduardo Campillo Betancourt]

Hello,

I have found that there is no record of voting by MLA since most votes are done by voice. However, is there any proxy you have found such as using transcripts of meetings where specific laws/motions were discussed? Are such transcripts available in English by any chance, even if it is only for some states? 

I found, for instance, that someone did this word cloud with text from debates in some assembly discussion: https://www.facebook.com/DataDrivenPolicy/photos/a.1680520442182299.1073741826.1669243013310042/1683054585262218/?type=3&permPage=1

How I could get that sort of raw data for state assemblies is my question.

Thank you in advance for your help and attention.

Best,

Eduardo

Hi Eduardo,

I'm a bit doubtful that techniques which work in presidential political systems like the USA will work well in a parliamentary democracy like India. Party discipline in parliamentary systems tends to be so overwhelming that instances of individual parliamentarians 'crossing the floor' to vote with the 'other side' are rare. Since they are rare, they tend to get reported in the newspapers. So one strategy might be to search for such examples in the papers.

best wishes,

Peter

That makes sense. Thank you, Peter, I will look into that as a source of data!

You could also consider going through text available via PIB (press information bureau). There are cabinet decisions, speeches, releases etc going back to 2017
