The Goa Assembly faced adjournments twice on Tuesday for the second consecutive day, following repeated demands from the ruling benches for an apology from Congress MLA Altone D'Costa. The controversy stems from D'Costa's comments about Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar.
The assembly was first disrupted on Monday when BJP MLA Daji Krishna Salkar moved a breach of privilege motion against D'Costa, resulting in a commotion before the Question Hour. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant led the ruling benches in demanding an apology from D'Costa, causing further adjournments on Tuesday.
D'Costa had previously alleged that the Speaker dropped a resolution concerning Scheduled Tribes under pressure. Despite clarifying his stance and expressing willingness to testify before the Breach of Privilege committee, the ruling benches insisted on an apology. Consequently, the assembly faced multiple adjournments.
