Taking "objection" to UPA's attack on NDA leaders in Parliament in the absence of Opposition members, BJP on Thursday directed its MPs to visit their constituencies to counter the Government's allegations and "expose" the ruling combine.
The UPA should not be allowed to go scot-free and it has been decided to "expose" the Government "aggressively" through press conferences and campaign throughout the country by Opposition MPs in their respective constituencies, BJP Parliamentary Party spokesman VK Malhotra told reporters after the Parliamentary Party meeting, chaired by party President LK Advani.
It was also decided that the NDA leaders would attend the meetings of Parliamentary Committees after May 13 when the Budget Session ends, Malhotra said.
The hour-long meeting deliberated on the NDA decision to boycott the parliamentary proceedings and "objected" to "cheap and demeaning allegations" levelled by UPA members including ministers, he said.
Equating the current situation to the one that existed during the Emergency, the BJP leader said, "During that time also, allegations were levelled similarly against Opposition during its boycott of the Houses."
