Bhubaneswar, Aug 29 (UNI) Opposition BJD members on Thursday created a ruckus in the Odisha Assembly, demanding that their notice for an adjournment motion on developmental works in the state's blocks be taken up for debate.
Speaker Surama Padhi was forced to adjourn the House until 1600 hrs after agitated BJD members rushed to the well of the House, shouted slogans, and disrupted business during Zero Hour in protest against the Speaker's refusal to accept their adjournment notice.
The issue was raised by BJD members Arun Sahu and Ganeswar Behera, who stated that although they had been demanding a discussion on the matter for a long time, the Speaker, they alleged, had been rejecting it.
