Odisha Assembly Budget Session adjourned sine die

[ad_1]
Bhubaneswar: The Budget Session of the Odisha Assembly was on Friday adjourned sine die six days ahead of its schedule, amid walk-out by the opposition BJP members. The session was scheduled to continue till April 6.
On the last day, the House passed the Appropriation Bill, 2023, allowing the state government to spend Rs 2.30 lakh crore from its consolidated fund during the financial year 2023-24.
From the first day on February 21 till last day (Friday), the House witnessed pandemonium several times as opposition legislators created noisy scenes raising different issues including minister Naba Das murder case, Mahanadi water dispute, inter-state border dispute, fake certificate racket, Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification, Chief Minister’s read-out speech, alleged matric question paper leak, ‘officers’ raj’, drivers’ strike, etc.
During the Session, the government has introduced six bills but passed only the Appropriation Bill, 2023. However, it withdrew three bills in a hurry on the last day amid ruckus by opposition BJP and Congress members.
When the valedictory session was going on, the BJP members led by Leader of Opposition Jayanarayan Mishra were staging a protest before the Mahatma Gandhi statue inside the Assembly premises in protest about Kotia village border dispute with Andhra Pradesh and a fake certificate racket busted in Bolangir.
Notably, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is scheduled to visit Kotia village on April 1, Utkal Diwas (Odisha Day).
Three CAG reports were presented before the House during the session.
Earlier in the day, the opposition BJP and Congress MLAs created a ruckus in Odisha Assembly over fake certificate racket and the Kotia border dispute issue on Friday.

Unable to run the House smoothly, Speaker Bikram Keshari Arukha adjourned the House several times throughout the day. In protest over the two issues, the Opposition members walked out during the discussion of the Appropriation Bill, 2023.
Raising the twin issues during the Zero Hour, the Opposition members rushed to the well of the House and shouted slogans against the state government over the issues.
Leader of Opposition Jayanarayan Mishra (BJP) raised both the issues and alleged that Andhra Pradesh is interfering in Kotia area and 21 other villages in Koraput district.
The BJP leader claimed that Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister is luring local people in the area.
“Andhra is interfering in Kotia and 21 other villages. Andhra Deputy CM is luring local people. Where is the Kotia package announced by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik? What steps have been taken in border row with other states?” asked the BJP leader.
He further questioned the role of Subrot Chotai (Vanik institute head in Bhubaneswar) in supplying computers to 5T schools.
“A fake certificate racket running in a coaching institute was busted in Bolangir district of Odisha. What is the relation between Vanik institute and the fake certificate running institute?” asked Mishra.
Similarly, Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Narasingha Mishra said a fake certificate racket was reported in Bolangir. “The racket is not only confined in Bolangir but also in different parts of the state. Even the chain has gone outside Odisha,” he said.
The Congress leader alleged that photos of a Minister and a former Minister along with the prime accused in the fake racket issue have gone viral.
Countering the opposition, senior BJD member Arun Sahoo accused BJP and Congress leaders of enacting drama over the Kotia issue. “The BJP members should go to the Centre and raise the issue. They have eight MPs and three central ministers,” Sahoo said.
On the fake racket issue, Sahoo showed a picture in which the prime accused and Narasingha Mishra were seen sharing the stage.
Quickly reacting to the picture shown by Sahoo, Congress MLA Mishra said he is ready to face the investigation. “Will the Chief Minister, the Minister of State for Home and ex-Minister will submit to the investigation?” he asked.

LS adjourned for day amid protests over Rahul Gandhi’s ‘democracy’ remarks

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Friday due to slogan shouting by the opposition and protests by the ruling party members over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s “democracy-under-attack” remarks made in London recently.
This was for the fifth consecutive day that the House did not function ever since the second part of the budget session began on March 13.
As soon as the Lok Sabha assembled for the day, some Congress members trooped to the Well of the House shouting slogans and demanded that Gandhi be allowed to speak in the House.
They also demanded a joint parliamentary committee (JPC) probe into alleged stock manipulation by the Adani Group, a business conglomerate headed by industrialist Gautam Adani.
The members of the treasury benches also raised counter-slogans from their seats, demanding an apology from Gandhi for his remarks.
The turmoil continued for about 20 minutes, with Speaker Om Birla urging the members to allow the House to function smoothly.
“Honourable members, I appeal to you to allow the House to run smoothly. People did not send you here to do this. I will give everyone an opportunity to speak, but the House has to be in order,” he said.
The protesting members ignored his pleas and the speaker adjourned the House for the day. It will meet again on March 20.

Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and several other Union ministers were present in the House.
During his interactions in London, Rahul Gandhi had alleged that the structures of Indian democracy are under attack and there is a “full-scale assault” on the country’s institutions.
The remarks triggered a political slugfest, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing Gandhi of maligning India on foreign soil and seeking foreign interventions, and the Congress hitting back at the ruling party by citing instances of Prime Minister Narendra Modi raising internal politics abroad.

Adani issue: RS, LS adjourned till 2.30 pm as Oppn demands discussion

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Both Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were adjourned on Friday till 2.30 pm following an uproar by the opposition members demanding a discussion on the Adani issue.
In Rajya Sabha
Soon after the house met for the day, RS Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar rejected the 15 adjournment notices filed by members of various opposition parties to discuss the Adani group issue in the wake of allegations made against the conglomerate by a US-based short seller.
The chairman urged members of the Rajya Sabha to maintain order and allow the listed business of the House to be taken up. But unrelenting opposition members raised an uproar over the rejection of their adjournment notices.
Dhankhar told the protesting members that Parliament is the essence and the North Star of democracy. It is a place for discussion and deliberation and not a place of disturbance, he said.
“I have received 15 notices under Rule 267 from different members…I have gone through all the notices. I am unable to accede to them as these are not fulfilling the requirements of rule 267,” the chairman said, leading to uproar from opposition members.
He then adjourned the house till 2.30 pm, as opposition members continued to cause uproar.
In Lok Sabha
Soon after the House met for the day, opposition members were on their feet shouting slogans and demanding a probe into the tanking of the Adani Group scrips and sought a probe into the business practices of the corporate giant.
Speaker Om Birla appealed to members to participate in the discussions during the Question Hour, which he termed as significant.

He said the House will take up the Motion of Thanks to the president for her address at the beginning of the Budget session.
Birla said as it was the first address to the joint sitting of the House by the country’s first tribal woman president, all members should participate in it.
He said he was ready to give the opposition enough time to raise their issues if they give proper notice.
However, an unrelenting opposition continued their protests and sloganeering, forcing the Speaker to adjourn the proceedings till 2 pm.
Adani Group stocks have taken a beating on the bourses after the US short-seller Hindenburg Research made a litany of allegations last week in its report, including fraudulent transactions and share price manipulation at the Gautam Adani-led group, which has denied the charges.
The market losses of the Adani Group have risen to nearly USD 103 billion (about Rs 8.5 lakh crore).
