BJP Names Sanjay Jaiswal as New Chief Whip in Lok Sabha

Sanjay Jaiswal, an MP, has been named Chief Whip of the BJP in the Lok Sabha. In the Lower House, the BJP has also recruited whips in addition to this.

The following individuals have been named Whips by the BJP: Dilip Salkia, Gopaljee Thakur, Santosh Pandey, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Dhaval Laxmanbhai Patel, Devusinh Chauhan, Jugal Kishore Sharma, Kota Srinivas Poojary, Sudhir Gupta, Smita Uday Wagh, Ananta Nayak, Damodar Agarwal, Konda Vishweshwar Reddy, Satish Kumar Gautam, Shashank Mani, and Khagen Murmu.

The opposition’s INDIA group and the NDA engaged in a heated round of talks in the Lok Sabha on Monday.

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party about the Union Budget, stating that fear is prevalent in the nation and that it is currently imprisoned in a “Chakravyuh of lotus,” alluding to the BJP’s emblem.

The Leader of the Opposition criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his speech on the Union Budget 2024 in the Lok Sabha, claiming that the country’s workers, farmers, and youth are afraid.

He asserted that a new Chakravyuh had been developed in the twenty-first century and criticized the Prime Minister for prominently exhibiting the lotus symbol.

“Thousands of years ago, in Kurukshetra, six people trapped Abhimanyu in a ‘Chakravyuh’ and killed him. I did a little research and found out that ‘Chakravyuh’ is also known as ‘Padmavuyh’ – which means ‘Lotus formation’. Chakravyuh’ is in the shape of a Lotus. In the 21st century, a new ‘Chakravyuh’ has been formed – that too in the form of a Lotus. The Prime Minister wears its symbol on his chest. What was done with Abhimanyu, is being down with India – the youth, farmers, women, small and medium businesses. Abhimanyu was killed by six people. Today, too there are six people in the centre of ‘Chakravyuh’. Six people control India today too -Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Mohan Bhagwat, Ajit Doval, Ambani and Adani,” he added.

Despite being on a constitutional post, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw attacked Rahul Gandhi for his remarks in the Lower House on Monday, claiming that the LoP’s actions harm democracy and the Constitution.

“It is sad that Rahul Gandhi’s behavior as the leader of the opposition and the language he uses in Parliament, questioning the constitutional post of the Lok Sabha Speaker, is an action to undermine democracy and the Constitution. There is a history behind this when Rahul Gandhi publicly tore the ordinance brought by his government, so I do not see any intention of him to follow the limits of the Constitution,” Vaishnaw said.
