Lok Sabha elections: Only 200 days left, plan 200 programmes for LS polls, Modi tells BJP

The issues that figured in these meetings included alleged "misuse" of CBI against the backdrop of probe report into Ishrat killing and government's decision to promulgate Ordinance on Food security.



"Ideas were invited and discussed by the party top brass from the general secretaries," a source said.

The alleged misuse of CBI by the Centre was discussed in the Parliamentary Board, the sources said, citing the CBI chargesheet in the Ishrat Jahan encounter case as the latest case.

Though Modi and then Gujarat state minister for Home Amit Shah have not been named in the chargesheet, BJP has objected to the chargesheet for describing the encounter as "fake" and charging that Jahan and three others were drugged and killed in cold-blood.

"The Parliamentary Board discussed the misuse of CBI and how Congress-led government is using it as political tool. It is using the agency against the Opposition leaders. We strongly condemn it," BJP General Secretary Ananth Kumar said.

The Food Security Ordinance approved by the Cabinet yesterday was also discussed. BJP is opposed to the Bill in its present form and will press for following the Chhattisgarh Food Security Act which covers 90 per cent of the population.
