New Delhi: The Leader of Opposition, Mr. Maliikarjun Kharge took dig at PM Modi by calling him “The Brahma The Creator.” “Modi is Brahma. He is the creator… only he knows when parliament will be convened,” Mr Kharge, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, told the reporters.
Mr.Kharge also said that Mr.Modi is destroying the temple of democracy by not convening the session on the account of Gujarat election next month.
“His first step (after becoming prime minister) was to touch the floor of parliament, now he shows no respect,” Mr Kharge said.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi had said that PM Modi “lacked the courage to face parliament” and the government was sabotaging the session on “flimsy” grounds. She said the Modi government “is mistaken if it thinks that by locking the temple of democracy, it will escape constitutional accountability ahead of the assembly elections.”
The Government is escaping the discussions on impact of demonetisation and GST on the economy.
In reply, the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that . “It has been a tradition and it has happened several times that parliament sessions are rescheduled when an election is happening”
