The BJP on Thursday called on environment minister Jairam Ramesh to name the MPs who had met him or his ministry’s officials to lobby for or against a project, following his letter to presiding officers of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha seeking their intervention.
In a statement, BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said that Mr Ramesh had in the letters raised an issue of ethics related to his own department where he has called the actions of certain MPs as objectionable and blatant violation of norms and has requested the presiding officers to intervene in the matter.
