PM Modi to meet NDA partners today to counter opposition attack
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.
