When Speaker Kailash Meghwal named Congress MLA Shakuntala Rawat to speak, NPP legislator Kirori Lal Meena and his wife Golma Devi stood up. Meena claimed that despite giving notice four times for permission to speak, he was being not given a chance.
Amid uproar, the Speaker adjourned the house till 1 PM.
Speaking to mediapersons outside the House, he alleged that his voice was being "suppressed" as he targeted the BJP government.
"The previous government had done the ground breaking ceremony and 70 per cent work on the project was completed. After the BJP government came into power, it returned Rs 11.79 crore, the donated money along with with its interest, to the Zamindara Party president B D Agarwal personally," he alleged.
"It was done by the ruling government to buy votes of the Zamindara Party for two seats in Rajya Sabha," he added.
The MLA from Lasot seat in Dausa claimed that the Sriganganagar Nagar Parishad board had opposed the government's move to return the donated money.
"The matter was then brought to Jaipur and under the pressure, the money was returned," alleged Meena.
Congress members including Govind Singh Dotasara, independent MLA Hanuman Beniwal also supported Meena.
