Bharatiya Janata Party President Amit Shah took seriously the absence of party MPs in the Rajya Sabha on Monday (July 31) and told the members that it should not be repeated. Union Minister Ananth Kumar told media persons about this.

According to the information available, BJP can demand cleanliness from absent MPs in the Rajya Sabha. Indeed, in the monsoon session on Monday, a significant provision of the Constitution Amendment Bill of the Government was to be removed in the Rajya Sabha because its MPs were not present in the House.

The government introduced the Constitution Amendment Bill to give constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC).

Congress leader P. Chidambaram, while targeting the government, wrote that the government was neither prepared nor serious about the matter. Because of this, due to the total of 78 MPs of NDA, BJP also got a minority.

The Clause 3 had to be removed in the Constitution Amendment (123rd Amendment) Bill 2017, which was linked to the organization of commission. The denial of this clause in the Rajya Sabha meant that the government will have to pass a new bill for it in Lok Sabha and pass it in the Rajya Sabha.

This bill was a constitution amendment bill, so two-thirds of the vote needed to pass it. But the MPs were not present.

The chairman of the House reminded many times that once the bill fell, then the entire process would have to be restarted.

The chairman also said that the only way to pass the bill is to see that all MPs present in the House unite and support it.

The proceedings of the House were adjourned for a few minutes to make unite the ruling party and the opposition. But the bill could not be passed due to lack of adequate MPs of the ruling party.
