Modi to call joint sitting of houses to push key bills?

The BJP has decided to take frequent recourse to joint sittings of Parliament to make sure that key legislations are not held up due to the NDA's inadequate numbers in Rajya Sabha.Despite the BJP having a majority on its own in Lok Sabha with 282 members, and the NDA garnering 336 seats in all, the ruling alliance is short of majority in Rajya Sabha with just 64 votes. Even if all 10 nominated members, who are expected to go with the government, are counted, the NDA tally just improves to 74 seats, as against the halfway mark of 123 MPs in the 245-member House. Besides, with BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudy, LJP's Ram Vilas Paswan and rebel RJD MP Ram Kripal Yadav now elected to Lok Sabha, there will be three vacancies in the upper House that the NDA may seek to fill.
