BJP has issued whip to its MPs asking them to be present in both the Houses of Parliament today. The whip has been issued as government wants to pass the key legislations like GST Bill during the remaining part of the current session which is scheduled to end tomorrow. <br/><br/>The GST bill is listed for discussion and passage in the Rajya Sabha today where the NDA does not have a majority. The constitutional amendment bill needs the support of two-thirds of the House.<br/><br/>With the Monsoon session ending tomorrow, the government is keen to push the bill, with some parties including the Samajwadi Party breaking ranks with the Congress on the issue of stalling Parliament, treasury benches hope that it would have numbers to push the key reform bill. <br/><br/>Talking to the AIR, JD(U) leader KC Tyagi said that the party does not oppose the GST bill but the JD(U) stand with the opposition until the government will remove the tainted Minister and Chief Ministers.
