Congress MLAs' walk out from Gujarat Assembly

The second day of the Gujarat Assembly’s three-day monsoon session took a dramatic turn as the Congress MLAs were suspended for a day after they staged a walkout in the Vidhan Sabha.

The Opposition leaders claimed their questions were excluded from the discussion agenda, staging a walkout from the House.

Congress MLA Amit Chavda said that no questions were taken from the 12 questions provided by the Opposition. Chavda alleged that questions related to public issues were cancelled.

To this, Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary reportedly replied that the Opposition’s majority is less so the questions will be taken based on that.

Congress leader Shailesh Parmar alleged that MLA Gulab Singh Chauhan’s question on Dahod land was cancelled, along with 12 questions today, leaving only two questions up for debate which were from the ruling party.

After the walkout, BJP’s Rushikesh Patel proposed to suspend Congress MLAs from the House, which was supported by Minister Harsh Sanghavi, leading to the suspension of the MLAs for today.

Following the walk out, Amit Chavda said, “The government employees are paid with people’s money, but their questions are not being raised in the House in a process of killing democracy. To hide the mismanagement, questions related to land scams have been refused. This is why a 10-day session was not held, to hide the corruption and not table important questions.”
