jaipal was alone to defend UPA2- treasury bench too pathetic

Lone Union Minister to defend UPA2
CWG scam

JAIPAL REDDY LEFT HIGH AND DRY 

BY TREASURY BENCH

By R Rajagopalan

Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy was alone, in the Lok Sabha on Friday when the entire Opposition 

joined hands to attack the Government on the scams of Commonwealth games.

Senior Ministers were seen in central hall and not in the house to go to the rescue of Suresh Kalmadi

and UPA2 ministers. 

UPA2 for the second time in Monsoon session faced the wrath of Opposition next to the price rise

issue. Ruling party MPs were seated speechless. Sanjay Nirupam  of Congress was a lone MP

to speak for Govt.

It was a pathetic scene that no senior Union Minister was present in the Lok Sabha to reply

on behalf of Government against the CWG corruption allegations The three rows of treasury bench

was empty. Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee was in Rajya Sabha to give reply on price rise

PM was not present, and for the past ten days Sonia Gandhi was also not attending Lok Sabha.

Mulayam Singh  Yadav was asking first for a CBI inquiry on the CWG corruption, but later changed

to Joint Parliamentary Committee. But Jaipal Reddy was able to convince the Opposition with his chaste

Hindi and English .
