BJP terms session ‘ploy to divert attention’ from leadership tussle

Published by Parlour News

R. Ashok | Photo Credit: HANDOUT E MAIL Describing the Cabinet’s decision to convene a special legislature session to discuss the VB-G RAM G Act as one with “mala fide intention” that will serve no public good, the Opposition BJP on Wednesday alleged that it was being convened only to divert public attention from the ongoing leadership tussle in the government. Addressing a press conference here, Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok argued that the State government should approach the Centre if it had any issues with the VB-G RAM G Act.

However, the Congress government in the State was opposing this only because it did not …
