Demanding that the existing arrangements be removed forthwith, Yadav announced to file a PIL in the Supreme Court.
“I will raise this issue in the Monsoon session of Parliament and will also file a PIL in the Supreme Court for abolishing the arrangements of the Rajya Sabha and the Councils,” Yadav told the media today.
He said the Upper Houses both at the Centre and in the States were no longer required as it is a “complete waste of hard-earned public money”. “Rather, the money should be spent on education and health,” he opined.
