New Delhi: In a press conference at the party headquarters after the Lok Sabha was adjourned during the discussion on the VB G RAM G Bill, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Chouhan said that the ruckus in the Parliament was against Bapu’s ideals and that democracy has been transformed into “mobocracy”.
“The disgraceful conduct of the Opposition during the debate on the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill is like goondaraj,” Chouhan said.
He also questioned the opposition to the change of name of the MGNREGA Act to VB G RAM G Bill. “What is the fuss about the name of the Bill? The opposition is only concerned about the name but we are more focused on the work,” he said.
“I strongly condemn the disgraceful behaviour of the Congress and INDIA bloc MPs in Parliament. Through their behaviour, the opposition disgraced democracy, tore parliamentary traditions to shreds,” he added.
Chouhan also criticised the Congress, and said that the opposition party has “killed” the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi many times over and used his name to further political gains.
