The first day of Madhya Pradesh Assembly’s special session was wrapped up after paying tributes to two deceased leaders on Thursday. It will be on the second day i.e on Friday, that Assembly will ratify Constitution Amendment Bill to extend reservation to SCs, STs for another ten years. Leader of Opposition Gopal Bhargava also paid tribute to both departed leaders.

He said that discussion should be held on why such things happen? He also went into past wherein even some special rituals were done at the Assembly premises. He added that Assembly strength is 230 and some time, in duration of five years, figures of deaths related to MLAs even reaches till eight to ten.

 

After tribute paid by Gopal Bhargava, Assembly Speaker N P Prajapati adjourned the House till Friday morning. The Constitution Amendment Bill was passed by the Parliament recently and now it is being sent to State Assembly for ratification. On first day of special session, Assembly paid tributes to Congress MLA Banwari Lal Sharma, who died last month due to prolonged illness. He was MLA from Morena district’s Jaura seat.
