Derek O'Brien, Leader of the Trinamool Congress in Rajya Sabha, has openly criticized the central government for purportedly evading critical issues highlighted by the Opposition. The accusations come as the Parliament prepares to reconvene post-Independence Day recess.
O'Brien predicts continued derision towards Parliament in the final days of the Monsoon session, comparing the scenario to the Prime Minister's radio program, Mann Ki Baat. He claims the government consistently dodges discussions on pressing national matters.
The TMC leader also takes aim at the Election Commission, implying allegiance to the ruling BJP. Opposition protests in Parliament revolve around the Special Intensive Revision exercise in Bihar, with government rebuttals citing sub judice status and EC discussions as beyond parliamentary scope.
