New Delhi, July 29: 21 BJP MPs have met Prime Minister to step up demand to withdraw support from Mayawati-led BSP-BJP coalition in Uttar Pradesh. The demand comes in the backdrop of PM`s rejection of BSP demand to expel Union Minister Jagmohan in connection with Taj corridor project. BJP president Venkaiah Naidu has called a meeting of BJP national general secretaries to discuss the present issue.
The Chief Minister had alleged that Jagmohan was in "collusion with her rivals" to destabilise her.
Taj issue rocked the Lok Sabha also as slogan-shouting BSP members today forced its adjournment twice, demanding dismissal of Tourism and Culture Minister Jagmohan for "misleading" the entire nation over the controversial Taj heritage corridor project. Meanwhile, Jagmohan, who is in the eye of a storm over the Taj heritage corridor project, today asserted in the Rajya Sabha that no clearance was given for it by his ministry or the environment ministry.
"No clearance was given by the environment or tourism ministry. No sanction or approval (was given)," he said.
Jagmohan was responding to a supplementary during the Question Hour relating to the demand for his dismissal made by Bahujan Samaj Party over the controversial project. Bureau Report
