BSP convenes meeting over cut motion

In the wake of the opposition's move to Cut Motions in Parliament, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has called for meeting of its MPs to decide their course of action On Tuesday, Apr 27.

Media reports said that the BSP MPs will be meeting early on Tuesday, Apr 27, morning.

"The BJP is restless for power. There is fault in their policies," Singh told reporters.

The BSP's support, to the government is said to be governed by the willingness shown by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to accept Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's plea to quash disproportionate assets case against her.
