In the aftermath of suspension of 8 Congress MLAs from the House on March 3 for the remaining period of the ongoing session by the Speaker, Leader of Opposition (Congress) Rameswhar Dudi said the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) will meet on Monday at 9 am at PCC to decide whether the remaining 16 party MLAs would attend the budget presentation by Raje or not.
The MLAs were suspended after a proposal moved by government chief whip was passed by the House. Earlier, Dudi had said that Congress decided on the very day of suspension that no MLA would attend the budget presentation.
At least 40 persons, including Rajasthan Congress chief Sachin Pilot and 10 policemen, were injured on March 3 when police tried to stop party workers who attempted to ‘gherao’ the Assembly to protest against Centre’s ordinance on land acquisition Act.
