Ignoring dharna by the opposition for the second day today, the ruling BJP had its way in ensuring conduct of official business in the Assembly.
Shouting slogans, demanding debate on alleged land scams and corruption under adjournment motion, Congress and JD(S) members refused to call off their protest, insisting that the government yield to their plea. Brushing aside their noisy protest with opposition members raising slogans like “BJP has looted thousands of crores of rupees,” government pleaded with Speaker K G Bopaiah to conduct the official business, which he obliged.
Amid the din, the House went through motion of laying of written answers, laying of papers on the table of the House and reports of various legislature committees.
Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and Siddaramaiah felicitated N Yogish Bhat, who was elected deputy speaker.
He is a four-time MLA from Mangalore South constituency.
