TRAI Amendment Bill passed in Lok Sabha
  • 5 years ago
In a big political victory for the BJP government, the TRAI Amendment Bill introduced by it to legitimize the appointment of former telecom chief Nripendra Misra as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Principal Secretary was passed in Lok Sabha on Monday despite tough resistance from the Congress party.

Making things easier for the ruling BJP, Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and Congress ally BSP led by Mayawati both supported the TRAI Amendment Bill.

The Trinamool, which had joined the Congress in protesting strongly against the government's move and even planned to move a resolution, took a 180 degree turn on the issue.

"The TMC is a responsible party. The PM can choose any officer whom he thinks fit for the post. Everyone should allow the office to function smoothly," said Trinamool leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay.
