New Delhi: The BJP and Congress on Sunday launched fresh attacks against each other with union minister Arun Jaitely accusing the Congress of having "obstructionist tendencies" and the main opposition blaming the prime minister's "obduracy" for the logjam in parliament.

The sharp attacks from both the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress party were witnessed on the eve of the all-party meet called by Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu in an effort to end the parliamentary stalemate during the ongoing Monsoon Session.
