Opposition Congress member Satyanarayan Sharma on Wednesday contested the name of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee mentioned by BJP member Devjibhai Patel in his discussion on the motion of thanks to the Governor’s Address in the Chhattisgarh Assembly.
“Atalji is not a member of the Chhattisgarh Assembly so the BJP member should avoid mentioning his name in his discussion,” the Congress member called out. To this, Patel replied that it’s was the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee with whose efforts the State of Chhattisgarh was created. later an argument ensued between the Opposition and ruling party members and further conversation was expunged by the Speaker from the day’s proceedings in the House.
Thereafter, leader of Opposition TS Singhdeo got up and stated that the members have full respect for the former PM while calming the Opposition members.
