Bengaluru, Jul 25: Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu lambasted the Congress and other Opposition parties for obstructing parliament and not allowing it to function.
Addressing a news conference in Bengaluru on Saturday, he said the Congress and other opposition parties were unable to digest their massive defeat and the massive majority given to the NDA during the last Lok Sabha polls and were preventing the Narendra Modi regime for discharging its constitutional duties and obligations.
Naidu said the Congress cannot reclaim lost ground with this tactics of obstruction and disruption of parliament. Unfortunately, the Congress has gone back and followed its politics of predetermined strategy of washout of the House.
He gave a clean chit to External Affairs Minister SushmaSwaraj and Chief Ministers of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and said the Congress party is now doing smear politics forgetting the corruption in their own backyard.
"All the Congress chief Ministers have been facing corruption charges and massive corruption had taken place in Congress ruled states. How can they accuse others that too on false charges?,’’ he asked.
"Now people are feeling that while in power the Congress neglected development and now while in the Opposition it obstructing the growth," the Minister said.
Noting that there was a growing feeling that parliament was becoming hindrance to law making and governance, he said the Congress was not ready for discussion of various allegations made against BJP leaders.
"The Congress refused to move the motion after having given notices for the same in the parliament," Naidu said.
In a federal set up, parliament cannot sit on the judgment on state issues, he said and asked: "Who are criminals? Can the Governments, Chief Ministers and Prime Ministers, who helped Anderson to go out of country in a special plane in spite of 3500 people killed and thousands have been disabled permanently after Bhopal gas tragedy, teach morals to others?."
Naidu appealed to the Congress party to allow parliament to function. "We are ready for a thorough debate," he said.
He, however, chose not to answer the obstructions that paralysed parliament when the BJP was in the opposition and said the situation was not comparable.

Yes... the things have grown from 31% to 80%...
Even opposition MPs do not have any complaints against Naidu....
Regaridng his RS seat from Karnataka, better I should remind a PM who ruled India for 10 years too had RS seat from Assam. But still entire India did not have any issue. Right? But why the same should not hold good form Naidu? Tongue is without bone and ready to twist, but we have to keep it in control.

Sun, Jul 26 2015What amazes me and pisses me off is when everyone in BJP says that Sushma/Vasundhara/Shivraj has not committed any offence. Are they not living in this world? A foreign minister of a country is helping an absconder who wanted for so many offences and that too without anybody's knowledge? They would have torn congress apart if they had to do it. Why this dual standards? Any sane thinking person would not comment in this irresponsible manner like Mr.Naidu and all others are doing. Where is the PM who was screaming about probity and anti corruption on top of his voice during election rallies? Does he have any integrity left by keeping quiet about this gross violation of law by one of his own ministers? Where is this country heading to? I really feel sorry for what is happening now in this country and honestly I don't see any better future for India. Leaders of this country are setting a bad standard as far as morale and ethics are concerned and if this continues, India will be lost among some of the banana republics we see in Africa and south America.

Sun, Jul 26 2015Is it bitter Mr Naidu? Tasting your own medicine? Conveniently forgot what all you did and said, when you were in opposition? You want me to remind Sushma, Chetly and your arguments? You BJP is no stranger to double-speak. Whether it’s on secularism, communal riots, nuclear deal, FDI, or black money, always armed with two convenient stock versions. Most of your leaders can instinctively speak with a forked tongue. What’s on display now is its double-speak on corruption, impropriety, ethics and parliamentary decorum. By exposing it, the Congress has nothing to lose. Its pay back time Mr Naidu.....

Sun, Jul 26 2015Mr. Clifford, he is not the only one suffering from amnesia but the rest of the BJP big stars also they are under a paranoia blindly believing that the electorate lost their memory completely thus offering new promises every day. The political promises are the panacea medication for the suicide calamity of the dying farmers due to impotence and failed love affair. Indeed, the BJP leaders are professional Psychotherapists.
