BJP to give full support to Swaraj, Raje : Reports

| | Jul 20, 2015, at 05:26 pm
New Delhi, Jul 20 (IBNS) Ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday decided to extend total support to its leaders who are embroiled in various controversies that the opposition Congress tries to take handle of.

Media reports said the BJP and the government were ready to discuss all controversial issues with the Opposition but they should also be ready for discussion.

On Sunday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and his Rajasthan counterpart Vasundhara Raje met senior party leaders and presented all facts, so that party can defend. 

Meanwhile,  Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet senior NDA constituents on Monday to present a united front in Parliament to face the opposition fireworks on Vyapam scam and the Lalit Modi controversy.


Modi's move is also an effort to battle it out on crucial legislations that the government is determined to push through in the face of fierce opposition.

. At stake are several crucial legislations -- including the Goods and Services Tax bill and the land bill -- which have to be passed by the Upper House, Rajya Sabha, where the ruling NDA lacks majority.

On Sunday, the BJP held  a series of meetings  to finalise strategy to counter the expected Congress offensive on Vyapam scam and the Lalit Modi controversy-the two burning issues the main opposition party has made their weapon.

Reports said one of the meetings  was held at the Prime Minister's residence where senior leaders and ministers including Arun Jaitley, Sushma Swaraj, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and others were present. 

Another meeting was held at the residence of party chief Amit Shah.

The Congress-led opposition has mounted its attack on the BJP-led government over the links  External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje allegedly had with the scam-tainted former cricket administrator Lalit Modi, demanding the resignation of both.
