I don't think there is a 'coin' in this- both sides have done the same thing for ages. But fact is that previously Pranab maintained an open channel and good relations with the likes of Advani so in some cases of national interest despite differences they would compromise and pass legislation. Under Modi's era of vendetta politics no such thing is possible.
Not true actually, the BJP's behaviour in the last two terms have been pretty outrageous. Jaitley himself said obstructing parliamentary functioning is a valid parliamentary tactic. Now the boot is on the other foot & they are whining. On the nuclear deal, on economic reforms, the BJP blocked not because they fundamentally disagreed but out of sheer cussedness to prevent any "wins" for the UPA, national interest be damned. Can't really complain now.
The Congress wants to put Modi down at any cost even if it affects the development agenda for the country.
In fact its a conspiracy. They don't want Modi to succeed as that would hurt them at the hustings.
Modi has to be stalled and embarrassed at any cost. For them, the country's progress be damned .
The BJP did exactly the same.
Labour law has been reformed in Gujarat, Rajasthan and a couple of other states and a national labour law reform is on the cards. EoB is being improved by many changes being .
That was actually what Arun Shourie was saying, let the states pass the law & the centre simply approve every such law that came up rather than trying to change the law through the parliament for now. Labour, land....anything, let the states create the environment, other states would have no choice but to follow or fall behind.
