BSP today continued to press for resignations of senior BJP leaders in Lalit Modi controversy and Vyapam scam. Talking to reporters outside Parliament, Party Chief Mayawati said it is the responsibility of the government to listen to the opposition demand if it wants smooth functioning of Parliament. She said when BJP was in opposition, it did not allow Parliament to function until some ministers tendered resignations over corruption charges.
BSP Chief also took a dig at Uttar Pradesh government over reports that it is planning to implement the recommendations of the Sachar Committee on minorities. Terming it an election gimmick, she questioned why the Samajwadi Party has not implemented the report since it came to power in 2012.
