Coal scam: BJP demands PM's resignation
  • 5 years ago
India News: The Opposition on Tuesday derailed both houses of Parliament with the Bharatiya Janata Party leading the charge against the UPA government. But the BJP seems to have been pushed to a corner over its demand for the PM's resignation. BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "It is not acceptable that the government suppresses the truth. We demand that the Prime Minister resigns and the Law Minister should be sacked."

BJP ally Janata Dal United is not pushing for the PM's resignation and wants to wait for the government's reply on JPC. "We will take up the coal scam issue in this session of Parliament," said JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav. The Samajwadi Party, too, has distanced itself from the BJP's demand.
