15 Cong MPs, 12 Allies MPs Absent As Constitutional Amendment Bill Falls

As the voting figures for the Constitutional Amendment Bill were shown on the electronic display board in Lok Sabha, the floor managers of the ruling party suddenly found to their dismay that nearly 15 Congress MPs and almost a dozen members of the UPA allies were not present in the House for the crucial voting.

Floor managers of the Congress, particularly Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal appeared red-faced, as party president Sonia Gandhi sat silently on the front bench.
