Dear Ryu, Yes, the link you provided to the PRS Legislative Research website https://prsindia.org/billtrack could be a helpful resource for the information you are seeking.
PRS Legislative Research is an independent research institute that tracks the functioning of the Indian Parliament and state legislative assemblies. They maintain a database of bills introduced in the parliament and state assemblies, as well as information on how each parliamentarian voted on these bills. You can use their website's "Bill Track" feature to search for bills by keyword, bill number, or year of introduction. The search results will display information on the bill's status, summary, and voting details, including how each MP/MLA voted on the bill. Additionally, PRS Legislative Research also provides analytical reports on the functioning of the Indian Parliament and state assemblies, which may be useful in understanding how politicians behave in office. I hope this information helps you in your research. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
