Madhya Pradesh row: Cong gets a breather as House adjourned till March 26

As soon as Tandon started addressing the House, Congress legislators raised slogans of "bring back Congress MLAs" to the Assembly

The Madhya Pradesh Assembly was on Monday adjourned till March 26, soon after the governor’s address.

This is in view of the coronavirus outbreak, which provided the much-needed breather to the crisis-hit Congress government.

However, former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and nine other Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs immediately moved Supreme Court, seeking the holding of a vote of confidence. Also, the BJP paraded its 106 MLAs to the Raj Bhavan, claiming it had the numbers. However, Maihar MLA Narayan Tripathi, who, in the Monsoon session, voted in favour of a Bill tabled by the Congress, was not part of it.
