Congress MP Shashi Tharoor today accused the BJP of engineering "proxy disruption" during the recently-concluded Budget session of Parliament.
He was speaking to reporters at the Raipur airport.
"The allegations are baseless. Congress members remained seated and never trooped into the well," Tharoor said, when asked about the BJP's accusation that the session was washed out because of disruptions by Congress members.
Asked about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's and other BJP leaders' day-long fast tomorrow over the washed-out session, he quipped, "Modi had said four years ago that'Na khaunga,na khane dunga', and it is good that he is not going to eat tomorrow."
