New Delhi: The Prime Minister on Tuesday reprimanded BJP MPs for low attendance in Parliament at weekly Parliamentary Party meeting. Narendra Modi spoke of Bills getting stuck because of the quorum not being complete at times in either House.
Prime Minister Modi said passage of Bills is the responsibility of the ruling establishment and if they were stalled because of poor attendance, then it was disappointing, said media reports.
According to the reports, the Prime Minister pointed out that on Fridays especially during sessions members do a no-show post-lunch, which is not acceptable.
Meanwhile, Modi also expressed concern that 22 MP votes had been declared invalid in the recent Presidential elections. While it is not revealed, which political denominations these votes belonged to, the Prime Minister expressed worry that despite specific instructions on the voting process, crucial votes had been declared invalid and accounted for nil.
A day before polling, in fact, a presentation was given to the NDA collegium on the protocols of the process. Prime Minister Modi said that MPs whose votes had been cast aside, had eventually let down their constituents.
