Noisy scenes were witnessed in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday when Rural Development Minister Mahendra Singh challenged Leader of Opposition Ram Govind Chowdhury over a CBI probe, leading to a brief adjournment of the House.
During the Question Hour, when the minister was answering to a assembly member, the leader of opposition from the Samajwadi Party suddenly stood up and said, "When you (the minister) will be here (in the opposition), there will be a CBI probe and you will also go to jail."
Minister Singh said he took back his words and expressed "his 'dukh' (pain)" for what he said. "I didn't mean to say those words. I respect the senior member, Chowdhury."
