Rahul Gandhi hopes for ordinance route for passing pending bills after BJPs betrayal

New Delhi, Feb 22 (ANI): Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of betrayal, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, hinted that government might pass anti-graft bill through ordinance.

The BJP turned down the government’s request to extend the session by a few days to take up these bills, which Gandhi has been pushing. Feb 22, 2014
