One of the most curious allegations made by the Opposition during the No Confidence Motion against the Narendra Modi government, was that the Sansad TV camera doesn't focus on non-NDA MPs when they speak as compared to NDA MPs.

Several Congress leaders, DMK leader Kanimozhi and Shiromani Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, all made this accusation.

But how true is this claim? While we cannot say about all the speakers, we went through the speeches of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Congress president Rahul Gandhi and calculated the time for which the camera was focused on each of them and the duration for which it focused elsewhere

Here's what we found.
