Cong MPs angry as stormy Parl session set to begin

November 22, 2012 10:43

Buzz in the Central Hall of Parliament amongst Congress MPs is that they will stay put in the Central Hall itself and not be present in the Lok Sabha when the Prime Minister introduces the new council of minsters.

Three Congress MPs who are upset with the induction of their rivals in Cabinet, wanted to show their protest by keeping away from the the proceedings. Another Congress MP was heard saying in Parliament, "My rival comes to Rajya Sabha with the patronage of the political leadership, whereas I have won five times as an MLA and one time as an MP."

Is the Congress totally unaware of the brewing anger?
