Raipur, January 08
Chhattisgarh assembly remained uproarious on third day as a sarcastic remark of senior opposition member Satyanarayan Sharma on former PM Atal Bihari Vaypayee rocked the House prompting Speaker Gaurishankar Agrawal to delete the “comment” as well as the “debate” over it between ruling and opposition parties.
It was BJP member Devji Bhai Patel who first mentioned Vajpayee’s name during his speech on vote of thanks to Governor’s address and credited the former PM for constituting Chhattisgarh State during BJP-led NDA’s regime at Centre, but he was obstructed by Congress member Sharma who made provocative comment on the saffron party’s patriarch.
Objecting over Sharma’s remark derogatory, the infuriated ruling party members started sloganeering against the opposition and demanded deletion of “comment” from the Speaker. The opposition too countered with slogans. The Speaker eventually deleted the entire debate over the matter including the comment cautioning both ruling and opposition members to maintain decorum of the House and not to use any derogatory language against anybody.
The House again witnessed ugly spat between ruling and opposition parties when BJP members praised their government for effectively implementing public distribution system (PDS) and carrying several development works in State in last ten years as Congress members taunted that the ruling party did nothing in its two terms, except misusing power and deceiving people.
Pointing that PDS and paddy procurement procedures belong to Centre, not states, the opposition member and PCC president Bhupesh Baghel said the Chhattisgarh government did not have its own schemes.
He also attacked CM Raman Singh on government’s latest zero tolerance policy on corruption and said it was an irony that the ruling party took ten years in posing stringent face towards grafts. He asked whether the government would show courage in taking action against probes done on graft cases in last ten years or would put them in the backburner.
