Based on PRS India data (24 June 2024 – 18 April 2026), Raja Warring has asked 82 questions in the 18th Lok Sabha - above Punjab's state average of 63 - and participated in 18 debates, above the Punjab average of 15. His overall attendance is 66%, against a national average of 85%.

All data is sourced directly and verified from PRS Legislative Research's official MP Track.
When Amarinder Singh Raja Warring took his oath as Member of Parliament from Ludhiana on 9 June 2024, he assumed a dual responsibility that few politicians in Punjab have carried simultaneously: the role of a sitting MP with constituency obligations and the role of PPCC President with statewide organisational demands. His parliamentary record in the 18th Lok Sabha - verified through PRS Legislative Research data covering 24 June 2024 to 18 April 2026 - reflects how he has navigated that dual burden.
Raja Warring has asked 82 questions and participated in 18 debates across seven parliamentary sessions. His questions have covered a range of issues central to Ludhiana and Punjab - from Halwara airport and MGNREGA implementation to farmers' MSP, drug trafficking, and industrial workers' welfare. This article documents his complete parliamentary record as Ludhiana MP work in the 18th Lok Sabha.
Parliamentary Record at a Glance
The following figures are sourced directly from PRS India's MP Track for the 18th Lok Sabha, covering the period from 24 June 2024 to 18 April 2026:
| Metric | Raja Warring | National Average | Punjab Average |

Raja Warring's debate participation - 18 debates - exceeds the Punjab state average of 15 and falls close to the national average of 20.4. His questions tally of 82 significantly exceeds the Punjab state average of 63, placing him among the more active questioners from the state even while managing the additional demands of the PPCC Presidency.
Session-Wise Attendance
The following attendance data is drawn directly from PRS India's records for the 18th Lok Sabha:
| Session | Attendance |
| Budget Session 2025 | 65% |
| Budget Session 2026 | 52% |
| First Session of 18th LS | 86% |

| Monsoon Session 2025 | 86% |

His highest attendance was recorded in the inaugural sessions of the 18th Lok Sabha - 86% in the First Session and 87% in the Budget Session of 2024 - reflecting the priority he placed on establishing a presence in his first term as MP. Attendance dipped in subsequent sessions, particularly in Winter Session 2025 (47%) and Budget Session 2026 (52%), a pattern consistent with the heightened organisational demands of the Punjab Congress ahead of the 2027 state elections.

His participation in the Guru Granth Sahib sacrilege debate in April 2026 reflects his broader Punjab advocacy role as PPCC President.
Key Questions and Issues Raised
Raja Warring's 82 questions in the 18th Lok Sabha cover the full spectrum of Ludhiana constituency concerns and Punjab-wide issues. Verified subjects of his parliamentary questions include:
Halwara Airport: Raja Warring raised the delayed operationalisation of the Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha International Airport at Halwara - a civil enclave within the IAF base approximately 32 km from Ludhiana - multiple times in Parliament. The airport, long delayed past multiple deadlines since 2022, became operational in January 2026 after sustained advocacy by Ludhiana MPs including Warring and his co-chairman Dr Amar Singh (MP, Fatehgarh Sahib).
MGNREGA and Rural Employment: Warring's parliamentary questions on MGNREGA implementation, timely wage disbursement, and adequate fund allocation for Punjab were consistent with his public advocacy outside Parliament - including his December 2025 protest in Mohali and his opposition to the VB-G RAM G legislation that replaced MGNREGA from July 2026.
Farmers and MSP: In March 2026, Warring raised the issue of a legal minimum support price guarantee in Parliament - a demand backed by the Kisan Nyay Congress position of the Indian National Congress. He also raised concerns about the India–US interim trade deal in February 2026, warning that zero-tariff agricultural imports could devastate Punjab's farming economy.
Irrigation and Agriculture Infrastructure: Questions on irrigation grant allocation for Punjab's farmers - a subject directly relevant to the state's paddy-wheat crop cycle and water table crisis - were raised in the Budget Session of 2025.
Industrial Workers and Textiles: Given Ludhiana's status as one of India's most significant industrial cities - contributing over ₹72,000 crore annually to national output and home to over 1.5 lakh MSMEs - Warring raised issues related to industrial workers' welfare and the textiles sector through Demands for Grants debates and direct questions.
Parliamentary Role in Context
Raja Warring's Raja Warring Lok Sabha record must be read alongside his simultaneous role as PPCC President. Unlike most first-term MPs who focus exclusively on Parliament, Warring has managed constituency work, organisational responsibilities across Punjab's 117 constituencies and 237 blocks, and high-profile public advocacy including PIL filings and protest leadership - all while maintaining an 82-question parliamentary record that exceeds the Punjab state average.
His debate participation of 18 - above the Punjab average of 15 - and his consistent presence on issues directly relevant to Ludhiana's economy and Punjab's political landscape reflect the approach of a parliamentarian who uses the floor of the House as an extension of constituency and state-level work.

Join the Movement
A Parliament question costs nothing to ask but means everything to the person whose livelihood depends on the answer. When Warring raises Halwara airport delays, he is speaking for Ludhiana's exporters. When he raises MGNREGA wages, he is speaking for landless labourers. When he raises farmers' MSP, he is speaking for families whose survival depends on that number.
That is what an MP from Ludhiana should do. If you believe Punjab deserves representatives who show up, ask the hard questions, and fight for the right answers - stand with the movement.
