At least two BJP MPs, including Bansuri Swaraj, were detained by Delhi Police personnel during a protest march to the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s residence, a day after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha.
Union minister Raksha Khadse and BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj were detained during the protest by Delhi Police personnel, a video shared by ANI news agency showed.
According to a PTI report, BJP MPs Hema Malini, Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Bansuri Swaraj, Manju Sharma, and Vatsalya Gupta also participated in the protest.
Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, BJP state chief Virendra Sachdeva, MP Manoj Tiwari and party women cadre also joined the protest.
However, Rahul Gandhi was not present at his residence at the time of the protest. The Congress leader was attending a poll rally in Tamil Nadu.
The protest comes a day after the Constitution Amendment Bill, which was part of the delimitation package, failed to clear the Lok Sabha amid a united front by the Opposition.
