BJP parliamentary party executive to meet today

November 14, 2016 08:55

BJP Parliamentary Party Executive, comprising top brass including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party chief Amit Shah, will meet on Monday to chalk out its strategy for the Winter Session starting on Wednesday with the opposition keen to target the government over issues like demonetisation and OROP.

The saffron party believes that the demonetisation of Rs 1000/500 currency notes has generated a positive public mood but inconvenience caused to the masses, who have been queueing up for hours outside banks and ATMs for cash, has become a handy issue for the Congress, the Left, TMC, SP and BSP among others.

"We have nothing to hide or to feel apprehensive about issues like demonetisation and OROP," a party leader said, claiming that a debate on the currency issue will help it in upcoming assembly polls.

In a clear indication of the party's line in Parliament, Shah had attacked opposition parties, saying they were against an exercise which has rattled those dealing in black money, fake currency, narcotics and such activities.
