On the final day of the two-day session of the Assembly at Bharadisain on Friday, the State Government had as many as 20 bills and supplementary budget worth Rs 1506.87 crore passed in a House marked by the absence of the Opposition.
The Opposition BJP boycotted the session after a few of the MlAs attended the session on the first half on Thursday, demanding the state government to clear its stance on the shift of the capital to Gairsain.
The House passed the appropriation bill for supplementary budget unanimously. Although a bill -Uttarakhand physiotherapy and vocation medical council bill-2016- was slated to be passed it was withdrawn after the medical education minister Rajendra S Bhandari who had mooted the bill asked for its withdrawal to present it in a better way.
