BJP Criticizes Opposition for Stalling Parliament Over Election Defeat

The BJP criticized opposition parties for halting Parliament proceedings, calling it a retaliatory act following defeats in Maharashtra assembly elections and other state bypolls. Amid uproar by opposition members, sessions were adjourned without addressing key issues like the indictment of Gautam Adani on bribery charges in a US court.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday condemned the opposition for disrupting Parliament sessions, accusing them of retaliating against recent electoral defeats, including in Maharashtra.

Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha saw no substantial business conducted due to opposition uproar over various issues, notably the indictment of Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani in a US court on bribery charges.

Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad criticized the opposition's tactics, questioning whether electoral frustrations justified halting Parliament processes. Union Minister Giriraj Singh further alleged that the disturbances were intentional attacks on democracy.
