History has been created today in the Rajya Sabha. An opposition amendment moved by Com. Sitaram Yechury (CPIM) to the President’s Speech was passed with 115 votes against 59 votes. The entire opposition supported the amendment which wanted to include the sentence that this government will take strict action against hoarders of black money.

It seems that it is for the first time that an opposition amendment to the President’s speech has been passed. The government faced unprecedented embarassment.

Congratulations to Com. Sitaram Yechury and the opposition in Rajya Sabha for the victory.
