Prime Minister Narendra Modi had consistently stressed the importance of MPs remaining in their respective houses throughout Parliament session. BJP and its allies had issued whips to their members to stay in the Lok Sabha. The Opposition had made it clear they would oppose both -- The Constitution (129th amendment) Bill and The Union Territories (Amendment) Bill. The ruling side tried for full attendance to ensure the introduction of these two bills but 20 MPs were absent and the leadership is not amused at this casual approach.
