Prime Minister is running away from government’s responsibility: Mayawati

Bahraich, UP: As Parliament remained deadlocked over demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today accused opposition parties “discarded” by people of trying to “suppress” the truth, drawing angry retort from BSP supremo Mayawati.

“Parliament is not being allowed to function for 20 days.

We are ready for debate (on demonetisation), but we are not being allowed to present our viewpoint by those very parties that have been discarded by the electorate,” Modi said even as the Winter Session is left with just three more working days.

Within hours of Modi slamming the opposition, Mayawati hit back at the Prime Minister, saying it was a classic case of pot calling kettle black.
