Our mission is to gain full majority in RS: Venkaiah

Flaying Congress’s ‘negative role’, Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu today said the BJP is embarking on a mission aimed at giving ‘total power to (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi for development’ by getting full majority for the party and its allies in Rajya Sabha.

Instead of playing the role of constructive opposition, which is the need of the hour to put the economy back on track, Congress is ‘blatantly playing out a negative role,’ Naidu alleged at a press conference here.

To rejuvenate economic growth, the Modi government wants to take forward certain legislations, including those that were initiated by the previous Congress-led UPA government, that enable increased flow of investments, he said. ‘Ironically, Congress is playing delaying tactics without any valid reasons. They are objecting to their own legislative proposals. How does one explain this?’ he asked.
