The BSP today clearly demonstrated its irritation with AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi’s frequent visits to the drought-hit Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh and his mass contact programme among farmers. BSP MPs forced an adjournment of the Lok Sabha and walked out of the House demanding immediate release of a Rs 80,000 crore package for Bundelkhand.
“Stop politics in name of Bundelkhand and Poorvanchal,” the BSP members shouted in the Lok Sabha, demanding assistance for development of the two backward regions.
In the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Hamid Ansari adjourned the Rajya Sabha for 15 minutes as BSP members indulged in slogan shouting, disrupting the proceedings.
