Amit Shah takes serioud note of BJP members absence in Rajya Sabha Last Updated : 01 Aug 2017 04:11:11 PM IST BJP President Amit Shah
BJP President Amit Shah has taken a serious view of the absence of party members from the Rajya Sabha despite a whip and the absentee MPs are likely to be asked for an explanation.
Shah made it clear at the BJP parliamentary party meeting today, some MPs present there said, a day after the government suffered an embarrassment in the House when a united Opposition ensured the passage of amendments to a Constitution amendment bill on backward classes.
The Opposition-sponsored amendments were passed by 74 to 52 votes. The BJP’s strength alone is 56, while the ruling block enjoys the support of 88 members, counting 10 JD(U) MPs.
“When the party issues a whip, members must be present in the House. The party president has taken a serious view of the absence of members. He said it should not have happened and must not be repeated,” Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar said.
Modi did not attend the meeting as he was in Assam to review the flood crisis there.
