Rahul Gandhi accuses NDA govt of partiality

Accusing the NDA Government of partiality, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that the opinions of his party are not being heard in Parliament, and that the new government does not encourage any form of discussion over any issue.

"It is one-sided partiality that is what we are raising. I have raised my voice many times in the parliament. We are not being allowed to speak," said Gandhi.

"We are asking for discussions, but this government does not want or accept discussions. Only one man's voice is being heard," he added.

Gandhi said this after protesting in the well of the Lok Sabha today with other Congress leaders.

His party disrupted the Lok Sabha, demanding a discussion on communal violence in Uttar Pradesh and other parts of the country which was turned down by Lok Sabha Speaker Sunitra Mahajan.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajiv Pratap Rady later reiterated by saying that what Gandhi said was a result of pure frustration.

"Rahul Gandhi has spoken about the speaker which is not at all accepted. It depicts utter frustration from their part. He has given a statement against the nature of law," said Rudy.

"He is the face of the party and if he is not following the rules, it shows that they are trying to get into the frame by any means," he added.
