Slamming opposition parties for their decision to boycott the President s address to Parliament, the BJP on Thursday accused them of constitutional and moral bankruptcy .
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said if these parties think that the Modi government will backtrack from its support to three farm laws due to their collective pressure, then they should know that they lack such strength and that this dispensation bows only before people. Addressing a press conference, Bhatia said opposition parties had been calling for a session all this while as he hit out at them for their decision to boycott the address. A day before the start of the Budget Session of Parliament, 16 opposition parties led by the Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena and the TMC on Thursday decided to boycott the President s address to the joint sitting of Parliament in solidarity with the farmers protesting the new farm laws.
