NEW DELHI: Amid the parliamentary logjam over key legislations, Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh has urged the leadership to back the BJP government’s bills that have been vetted by parliamentary panels, stating that whimsical opposition does not make for good politics.At a strategy session to decide on the party’s stance on contentious legislations on Monday, the AICC general secretary argued that Congress should form a policy on which bills to back and which ones to oppose.According to sources, Singh advocated that the leadership declare upfront that it would support a legislation that has been approved by either a select committee or a standing committee of Parliament and in which the government has addressed the reservations of Congress.The suggestion strikes a contrast with the dominant opinion in Congress camp that seeks to put pressure on the Modi regime, if only to dent its aggression that comes from its overwhelming majority in the Lok Sabha The dominant view is that BJP’s numerical deficit in Rajya Sabha should be leveraged to the hilt. The opposition success in amending the motion of thanks to the President’s joint address to include that the Centre failed on curbing corruption and black money is a case in point.Presently, the ruling camp is sparring with the opposition over the bills on mines, coal, land acquisition and insurance reforms.Digvijaya argues that while the government can be embarrassed by a blanket veto of every bill, it does not lead to a favourable public opinion and instead is seen as cynical. It also does not help that Congress backed a bill while in government but is seen to oppose it when out of power for political reasons.If Singh’s suggestion is to be considered, the insurance reforms bill should find the Congress backing, having been vetted by the select panel with accommodation of Congress views.Importantly, coal and the mines and minerals bills have also been referred to select panels. It is to be seen what view the Congress leadership takes on them.According to an AICC manager, party chief Sonia Gandhi did not offer a response to Singh’s suggestion but indicated that the party would decide on bills on a case-to-case basis.
