New Delhi, Aug 6 (Inditop.com) Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad, a senior member of the previous United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, Thursday criticised the ruling coalition and said there was no coordination among the ministers.
“I cannot see any coordination in the UPA 2. There is no coordination,” Lalu Prasad said while participating in a discussion in the Lok Sabha on the price rise.
Criticising senior ministers for not being present in the house when important matters are discussed, Lalu Prasad said: “All of them have disappeared.”
Only Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal and his deputy V. Naryanasami were present, he noted and added sarcastically: “Both of them are like birds that feel they are holding the whole sky.”
Lalu Prasad said the government should take the opposition into confidence to find solution to issues such as the price rise that directly affect the people.
“You will have to take the opposition into confidence. If you need, we will give up our salaries. It (the price rise) is a national calamity. We are ready to move along with the government to find a solution to it,” said the former railways minister.
“All the MPs should be provided security. People are angry because of this price rise. When we return to our constituencies, we fear that people will throw stones at us. We will be beaten,” he said.
He also urged the government to hold a meeting of the chief ministers to find a solution to the crisis.
