Congress Legislature Party Leader Narasingha Mishra on Saturday expressed concern in the State Assembly that businesses are not being conducted in the House as per the Rules of Procedures of the Odisha Legislative Assembly.
Raising the issue, Mishra said members should be allowed times to deliver speeches as per the Rules of the Procedure.
“In Adjournment Motion discussion, opposition members are required to give a brief statement of facts and ruling members to raise a single question only. But members are giving speeches for longer periods,” lamented Mishra.
He said members are allowed more times during demand discussion. He wanted that the Speaker call all members to discuss the matter soon.
BJD member Amar Prasad Satpathy and Congress member Santosh Singh Saluja too wanted that businesses be conducted as per the Rules of Procedures of the House.
Speaker Surjya Narayan Patro agreed to the proposals.
