[1]NEW DELHI: Hoping to end the deadlock in Parliament, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has called an all-party meeting on Monday after the Congress chose to skip the meet called last week. PM Narendra Modi is also likely to make a statement in Parliament today over a host of issues, including the ‘Laltgate’ controversy and the Vyapam recruitment scam.
The government is expected to reach out to the Opposition for support on the pending legislative agenda during the all-party meet. The government called for an all-party meet after Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu blamed the Congress for stalling India’s growth story by pinning the Parliament impasse on the principal opposition party.
The Congress has insisted that the issue of action against three top BJP leaders should be on the agenda if the deadlock in Parliament is to be broken.
