The first day of the Assam budget session saw the opposition stage a walkout from the Assembly. This action followed the Speaker's decision to reject a debate concerning power issues.
The initial day of the Assam Assembly's budget session was marked by a significant disruption as opposition members staged a walkout. The protest was triggered by the Speaker's refusal to allow a debate focused on power-related matters.
Sources indicate that the opposition had sought to raise concerns and engage in a discussion regarding the state's power sector. However, their request for a debate on this specific agenda item was reportedly turned down by the presiding officer.
Following the rejection, the opposition members collectively decided to leave the House, highlighting their dissatisfaction with the proceedings and the denial of their opportunity to discuss the critical power issue.
