Amit Shah pulls up BJP RS members for bunking house
His admonition came as the party took a serious view of the absence of BJP MPs in the Rajya Sabha on Monday when a Constitutional Amendment Bill on backward classes was being voted upon.
Union Minister Ananth Kumar told reporters that Shah was sore with the fact that the Government had to drop a crucial clause from the Bill as the number of opposition members outweighed those from the BJP.
The amendments, that had the support of 74 Opposition MPs, were easily passed against NDA’s 52 MPs.
"It is not good thing in the democracy as people have elected them to represent in the House. It sends a wrong message," Amit Shah said,
The incident proved to be a major embarrassment for the NDA which commands at least 78 MPs in the Rajya Sabha, excluding 10 members of the JD(U), the BJP’s new ally.
