Bharatiya Janata Party members boycotted the proceedings of the Rajasthan Assembly here on Thursday, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot sought a vote on account for the next four months starting from April 2009. Mentioning the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Gehlot, who holds the Finance portfolio, said an interim Budget was being proposed as there was not enough time left till March 31 for introduction and passage of a full Budget for 2009-10. The BJP members led by Vasundhara Raje arrived in the House wearing white bands over their mouths in a novel way of protest against the Congress Government’s alleged attempt to stop the Opposition from airing “people’s problems”. Their protest was against the adjournment of the House on the opening day of the session on Wednesday after the condolences and the absence of Question Hour on the second day. The Opposition also did not fully participate in the meeting of the Business Advisory Committee held the previous day.
As no one from the BJP spoke due to their “
Mukh bandh” (kind of tiny white bands over the mouth) Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLA Amra Ram made all the talking on behalf of the Opposition. He accused the Government of violating norms and parliamentary procedures in suspending the Question Hour and also in not giving an opportunity to the members to speak on various “burning issues” including law and order.
