"The BJP's modus operandi to murder Parliamentary democracy is simple - pick up a silly, frivolous issue and use it as an excuse to adjourn proceedings. It is the order of the day that the ruling regime itself is disrupting Parliament and not taking up discussions concerning serious Ministries," he said in his post..

"As a responsible opposition, we have repeatedly agreed to discussions instead of disruptions, but the government itself is scared of answering difficult questions about their failures and discuss even matters related to important Ministries," Venugopal said.
