Opposition Congress walks out of Assembly during Guv's speech

The Tripura assembly today witnessed uproar over the increase in crime against women and the entire opposition staged a walk out when Governor Devanand Konwar was addressing the House on the first day of the budget session.
When Konwar started reading his speech, opposition Congress members led by the Leader of the Opposition, Sudip Roy Burman started shouting and requested the Governor not to read out his speech as according to them it was a 'document of bunch of lies' and stated that crime against women in the state was alarmingly high, but there was no mention of those incidents in his speech.

But when Konwar continued reading his speech the opposition members showed placards against the Governor saying he has "failed to serve his constitutional duties and was playing in the hands of the government."
At one point of time the members rushed to the well and started shouting slogans when the watch and ward staff threw a cordon and then opposition members walked out of the House.
The Governor said Tripura had been recording a healthy economic growth and the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) had gone up from Rs 20,981.74 crore in 2011-12 to Rs 23,854.70 crore during the 2012-13 and the economy grew by 8.40 per cent in the same year, which is higher than the growth of the national economy.

Konwar also stated that the state has made considerable development in agriculture, food grain productions, fish production and improvement in law and order.
