Congress Deputy Leader in Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi questioned the absence of BJP members within the House. He spoke to Liz Matthews about why the opposition has determined to lift the problem of the Prime Minister’s “absence” within the House.
You tried to lift the problem of BJP MPs not being current to ask supplementary questions.
Today throughout Question Hour I noticed that a lot of the BJP MPs whose questions have been listed have been absent… This exhibits the hypocrisy of the BJP which supplies us an ethical exhortation on the necessity for debate in Parliament. Leader of the ruling social gathering in Rajya Sabha and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs says he’s dedicated to Parliament. Today was an instance to see how sincere they’re.
Last week, you have been complaining concerning the high quality of solutions on the ground of the House.
The customary of solutions has been extraordinarily poor throughout Question Hour… BJP ministers are sometimes rhetorical and aren’t capable of complement the written solutions with any real updates.
The opposition has been complaining concerning the absence of senior ministers. But should not junior ministers additionally get an opportunity to arrange and reply?
We haven’t any downside responding to any MoS. But often senior ministers have been current and if some particulars required, they might attend. But senior ministers weren’t current right here, collaborating in political packages.
Congress MPs have been sustaining an attendance register for the Prime Minister at present, stating that he was current for under sooner or later on this session.
In the previous, now we have seen the Prime Minister current within the House, particularly on days when questions referring to his division are listed, however sadly… the Prime Minister didn’t attend the House besides on the primary day. The irony is that this Prime Minister bowed his head very loudly, describing the Parliament House as a temple of democracy.
Is the opposition doing its job to carry the federal government accountable?
Despite the federal government’s efforts to divide us, the opposition is united within the Rajya Sabha. Parties like TMC choose to increase their help on the identical points which Congress has been elevating. We are working carefully with our allies DMK, Shiv Sena, NCP and Left events. In the previous, now we have used instruments like division of votes… now we have walked out, now we have requested for debate.
