"They cannot point fingers at the Modi government.. not even on any single issue. Hence, when faced defeat they resorted to spoiling the game itself," he said.
Union Minister Parshottam Rupala on Thursday hit out at Opposition especially the Congress for 'stalling' the Parliament, and alleged that they were unable to digest Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rising popularity.
The Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare along with state BJP leaders took part in the fast here, as part of party's nationwide protest against the recent washout of the Budget session of Parliament.
Addressing the party workers in Hyderabad, Rupala accused the Congress of "not allowing" discussion on any subject including Cauvery issue and Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh among others in the Parliament.
"They cannot point fingers at the Modi government.. not even on any single issue. Hence, when faced defeat they resorted to spoiling the game itself," he said.
"With pain I am telling that it is for the first time that the Prime Minister was not allowed to speak as the Congress did not allow him. It is in the DNA of Congress party to strangulate democracy," the minister said.
"If you (Congress) don't allow (others) to speak, it means you don't believe in democracy," he added.
Telangana BJP chief K Laxman and other leaders also spoke on the occasion.
A day-long nationwide fast was observed by BJP leaders on Thursday, to protest against the washout of the Budget session of Parliament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who observed a fast along with fellow BJP MPs to protest the washout of the second leg of the Budget session of Parliament, today travelled to Tamil Nadu to participate in several events.
The prime minister left Delhi around 8.30 am and inaugurated the Defence Expo at Thiruvidanthai in Tamil Nadu. He later travelled to Chennai to inaugurate a hospital's extension building.
He returned to the national capital around 5.30 pm.
