Just hours after he was praised by the Prime Minister for suggesting Parliament get down to business, opposition leader Mulayam Singh Yadav has had a change of heart. Perhaps the PM’s praise is pre-mature; his joy should be short-lived.
Yadav’s suggestion did not find favour with Congress as Sonia Gandhi was seen saying “no” and party leader Mallikarjun Kharge suggesting that the SP leader was giving his individual views.
“We, in Congress, reject in toto and want to humbly tell the Modi government that politics of abuse will never replace the politics of consensus and construction in India“, Congress’ chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala said here. The decision of SP and RJD – the latter a likely Congress ally in the Bihar polls – to “participate” in Lok Sabha proceedings when Congress MPs were protesting in the well seemed to be the trigger for the heckling.
“The Prime Minister said a message has gone out as the session draws to a close that there are some people who are using misusing Parliament to stop the pace of country’s development”.
Modi made the constitutional amendment to allow the new tax the main goal of the summer sitting of parliament, which ends on Thursday. However, BJP said that the government is ready to discuss on all issues raised by the opposition, but in discipline. “Instead, they want to hurt country ” s economic growth story”.
Mr. Naqvi also dismissed charges that the Centre had not consulted the State government before appointing Ram Nath Kovind as the new Governor of Bihar.
The Congress has been disrupting the functioning of Parliament over their demand of removal of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje for allegedly helping former IPL chief Lalit Modi.
At the CPP meeting, the Congress President is expected to make the party’s stand on these issues all the more clear and also hit out at the government on farmers’ issues.
He expressed hope that all parties will support the bill which is in the interest of country’s economic growth.
