Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, along with other Congress MLAs, are set to protest against the central government s tax devolution policies in Delhi s Jantar Mantar.
Today s protest is expected to include 135 Congress MLAs, 28 MLCs, one Lok Sabha MP, and five Rajya Sabha MPs, including Independent MLA Darshan Puttannaiah
This is an example of how the opposition is sabotaging parliamentary democracy. TMC leader Kalyan Banerjee is mocking the Vice President in the Parliament premises, and Rahul Gandhi is recording the video; nothing can be more unfortunate than this, says BJP Rajya Sabha member Rakesh Sinha
The opposition members cheered Banerjee and Gandhi soon started making a video of Trinamool leader s performance mocking the vice president. Some opposition members also mimicked Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla s style of conducting House proceedings. As the video of Banerjee s performance went viral on social media, the BJP slammed the opposition for insulting the institution of Parliament by mimicking the Lok Sabha Speaker and Rajya Sabha chairman.
