A day after the complete washout of Parliament's Monsoon Session, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has planned to take the fight back into the Congress camp.
The ruling party has scheduled a number of press conference on Friday in a bid to "expose" the Congress and tell people how Parliament was not allowed to function.
Addressing the first of such media meets in the national capital, Union ministers Prakash Javadekar and Piyush Goyal hit out at the Congress, asserting that the government will pass the GST bill at any cost.
Hitting back at the government, Congress spokesperson Randip Singh Surjewala said that the Modi government was "drunk with arrogance of power". "The government has decimated democracy in the nation," he added.
Sources had earlier told CNN-IBN that a special session of Parliament might be called to pass the GST Bill. According to sources, the Narendra Modi government is likely to call a special session of Parliament from August 31 to September 4.
The decision to reconvene Monsoon session, after the washout of last three weeks due to disruptions by Congress-led opposition, will depend on whether there is some significant headway with other parties on the contentious GST bill.
On Thursday, both the Congress and the BJP had indulged in sharp attacks on each other over the washout of the Monsoon Session. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi had equated Congress attitude with that during emergency, Rahul Gandhi had hit back, saying, "Mujhe lagta tha Modi mein dum hai, par ab lagta hai Nahi hai."
