The Assam Assembly witnessed a walkout by the Congress party on the first day of the budget session after the Speaker refused to allow a debate on power sector issues.
The first day of Assam's budget session saw opposition members from the Congress party stage a walkout. The protest occurred after the Speaker of the Assembly rejected their demand to initiate a debate concerning the state's power sector.
Congress legislators had sought to raise the issue of power supply and related matters, but their request was not accommodated by the chair. This led to the opposition party's decision to exit the assembly proceedings in protest.
The budget session is scheduled to continue, with the government expected to present the state budget and other legislative business.
