Shah meets BJP MPs from southern states

Amid stalemate in Parliament over
opposition parties’ protest over demonetisation, BJP President Amit Shah on
Thursday night held a meeting with party MPs from southern states where they
are believed to have discussed the current political situation.

The meeting was held at the residence
of Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar, who is a Lok Sabha member from
Karnataka, and attended by Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Ramesh
Jigajinagi and Karnataka BJP chief B S Yeddyurappa.

BJP MPs of different states usually
hold meetings with ministers during the session, a party leader said, adding
that it was one such meeting.

However, the meeting, assumes
significance as the opposition is attacking the BJP-led NDA government over
demonetisation.

The party has asked its members to
aggressively counter the opposition’s charge and list benefits of
demonetisation, which the government has insisted will help curb black money
and corruption.
