Shiv Sena says monsoon session to be "maha-muqabala"

July 20, 2015 19:47

As the NDA projected a united face, the Shiv Sena declared that the monsoon session will be a 'maha-muqabla' between the ruling alliance and the opposition as it came out in strong support against the demands of resignations of top BJP leaders. "Their political character is bedag (spotless). In politics, sometimes you have to take certain decisions but it is not proper of muck raking against them," said senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut.

Raut, the party leader in the Rajya Sabha, hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to call the meeting of the NDA constituents, first of its kind ahead of a Parliament session. This, he said, will a go a long way to "restore" the communication in the ruling alliance.
