NEW DELHI:
Bracing for the opposition onslaught in Parliament, Government and the ruling BJP today decided to aggressively counter the attack on its leaders like Sushma Swaraj, Vasundhara Raje and Shivraj Singh Chouhan and rake up controversies related to Congress leaders.

Subsequently, Shah, along with Jaitley and other senior leaders like Rajnath Singh and Venkaiah Naidu met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to finetune the strategy.
Chouhan also landed in Delhi later in the evening to participate in the confabulations.
Making it evident that there will be no resignations, the party discussed how to counter the opposition attack in Parliament and harmonising of the response of the Government and the party on these issues, sources said.
Congress has threatened to disrupt Parliament if its demands for ouster of Raje, External Affairs Minister Swaraj and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Chouhan are not acceded to. (AGENCIES)
