Raj govt officials putting dignity of Assembly at stake: BJP MLA

BJP MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari today alleged that state government officials were putting the dignity of the Legislative Assembly at stake by tabling annual reports in the House on the day of discussion on demands for grants.
Parliamentary affairs minister Rajendra Rathore assured the Chair that explanation would be sought from officials concerned for delay in tabling annual reports.
Raising a point of order in the Assembly, Tiwari, who has been at loggerheads with the Vasundhara Raje government in Rajasthan over various issues, objected to tabling annual report of the education department on the day of discussion on demands for grants and walked out of the House.

"I had come prepared to speak on education scenario. Department officials have put the dignity of the House at stake by tabling annual report on the day of discussion on demands for grants. I will not speak today," he said before walking out of the House.
The state parliamentary affairs minister said, "All officials concerned will personally give explanation before the Chair on March 12 and I will also be present."
On February 27, Deputy Speaker Rao Rajendra Singh had directed officials of over 70 departments to give a written apology for delay in tabling annual reports in the House saying it was becoming a trend.
