The budget presented yesterday was passed by a voice vote amid bedlam created by the treasury benches, which strongly condemned the opposition Congress' behaviour of repeatedly disrupting the House, since its commencement on February 18, over the MP Professional Examination Board (MPPEB) scam.
As the House assembled today, Speaker Sitasharan Sharma took up the listed business by beginning with the Question Hour.
Mishra urged the Speaker to allow him to table the Censure Motion against Congress members who had created ruckus in the House by showing disrespect to the Governor and had later boycotted his customary address.
He said that they did not even allow Leader of the House Shivraj Singh Chouhan to reply to the motion of thanks to the Governor's address.
The Speaker then asked him to wait till the completion of the Question at 11.30 AM. But, the ruling party members created uproar condemning the opposition's behaviour.
When the House re-assembled, the situation remained unchanged following which the Speaker again adjourned the House till 11.30 AM.
Post adjournment when the House took the listed business, Mishra tabled the Censure Motion to which the Congress members objected. Amid din, Forest Minister Gaurishanker Shejwar also seconded it and it was passed by voice vote.
Congress member Ramniwas Rawat could not reply to the Censure Motion following disruptions.
Later, the Congress members trooped into the well of the House and squatted there.
