Leader of Opposition in the House, Shankarsinh Vaghela raised the demand of opposition for a discussion on the issue of situation that has arisen out of delayed monsoon after his notice rpt notice moved earlier today seeking discussion on the drought-like situation was rejected by the Speaker.
"A grim situation has developed in the state due to delay in rains. The government which knows about it has not made any provision in the budget presented yesterday. We would like to have discussion on the issue in the House," he told the House.
However, Vaghela insisted on a discussion after which, Congress MLAs stood up at their places and started shouting slogans against the government.
Even as Congress leaders Vaghela and Shaktisinh Gohil took their seats, other MLAs continued shouting slogans not heeding to Speaker's request to maintain decorum in the House.
Vala suspended all the Congress MLAs who were standing and shouting slogans against the government for a day and ordered marshalls to evict them from the House. The number of MLAs suspended was around 40.
Vaghela and Gohil were not suspended as they were sitting but later walked out of the House in protest against the action of Speaker.
