With TRS and YSR Congress that used to come to the rescue of the Narendra Modi government playing hard ball, the suspension of 12 Opposition MPs will be a welcome relief for the ruling BJP in Rajya Sabha where the numbers could go against it depending on attendance.
A day after a high voltage drama in the Upper House of Parliament, 12 suspended members of Parliament are likely to meet Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday, sources said.
Following walkouts from both the Houses, Opposition leaders staged a protest at the Mahatma Gandhi statue in Parliament premises on Tuesday over the suspension of 12 MPs.
Rajya Sabha on the first day of its business for the Winter Session on Monday suspended 12 of its members for the rest of the current session on account of unruly and violent behaviour during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
