Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], April 4 (ANI): BJP MLAs who were suspended from the ongoing Budget session staged a demonstration near the statue of Mahatma Gandhi on the Assembly premises, protesting the suspension order.
"We will sit on dharna the whole night. They (the ruling party) are trying to strangle us by not letting us speak in Vidhan Sabha. Speaker is also treating this matter casually. We will meet Governor and raise our concerns," Mukesh Mahaling, BJP MLA told ANI.
Odisha Assembly on Saturday witnessed ugly scenes after shoes, microphones and other items were hurled at Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro's podium following noisy protests over the alleged arbitrary passage of some bills in the House.
