leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said this Session will go down in Parliament’s history as the one where an intransigent Government demonstrated that there are no limits in furtherance of its agenda of political vendetta and confrontation.
“The current impasse in the political discourse in the country is the failure of the BJP’s leadership in fulfiling its promises to the public and inability to govern. The Prime Minister has authoritarian style of functioning as revealed in the last 19 months both in governance and in dealing with the parliamentary business. The centralisation of decision making, policies and all key appointments has adversely affected both the functioning and effectiveness of the Government,” said Azad joined by leader of the party in the lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge.
Kharge said the Government’s attitude of intolerance, arrogance and mindset of confrontation with the Opposition have led to unprecedented bitterness in the political discourse and vitiated the political atmosphere.
“Even after having enacted a scripted drama of ‘reaffirming’ his faith in the Constitution of India and the ideals of Dr BR Ambedkar, the Modi Government indulged in murder of democracy, federalism and the Constitution of India in Arunachal Pradesh,” said the party.
The main opposition also attacked the Government for having failed to safeguard India’s position and interest in the Climate Summit in Paris.
