Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan, upset over alleged “personal” remarks made against her, on Monday lashed out at the ruling BJP in the Rajya Sabha with a “curse” that it would face bad days.

Participating in the debate on NDPS (Amendment) Bill, Jaya chose to raise the issue of the 12 suspended Opposition members and said Bhubaneswar Kalita, who was in the Chair, himself used to protest in the Well of the House. This evoked a sharp reaction from BJP members.
