BJP issues whip to party's Rajya Sabha MPs to present in House

BJP has issued a whip to party's Rajya Sabha members, asking them to be present in the House for three days starting tomorrow. Ruling National Democratic Alliance lacks majority in the Rajya Sabha and BJP believes that a maximum presence of its members would be required in case of any voting. <br/><br/>A united opposition is trying to corner the government in Rajya Sabha on demonetisation since the beginning of the winter session of Parliament. Sharp clashes have been witnessed in Rajya Sabha on thursday and friday. Opposition wants that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should be present in the House, during the discussion on the demonetisation issue.<br/><br/>Sources said, BJP's top brass has also asked its MPs to publicise benefits of the demonetisation and also to counter the opposition's charges against it. BJP's Parliamentary Party office has given all the MPs, including those of its allies, a compilation of the RBI's and Finance Ministry's communication over demonetisation so that they could use the information to inform the masses and counter the opposition's points.
