It seems there are more U-Turns in the Modi govt than the number of gol chakars in Dilli. Jaitley in September 2013 The Food Security Ordinance is an abuse of the legislative power to issue ordinances...An Ordinance under Article 123 is issued when issues of extreme urgency arise and cannot await a forthcoming Parliament session. The matter must be of such urgency between the date of issuance of the ordinance and Parliament session that it is difficult to wait for that period. The ordinance in the instant case was issued on July 5, 2013 and Parliament was convened on August 5, 2013. What is it that had to happen between these 30 days that could not wait a legislative discussion and a legislative approval to the Bill? This is a gross abuse of the ordinance issuing power.” Jaitley in December 2014 The ordinance demonstrates the firm commitment and determination of the government to reforms. It also announces to the rest of the world, including investors, that this country can no longer wait even if one of the Houses waits indefinitely to take up its own agenda. By the way, The NDA government has brought four ordinances in six months, compared with 25 in the UPA IIs five years--on an average five a year.
