Chaos in Odisha Assembly: Opposition Demands Action Against Governor's Son

Proceedings in the Odisha Assembly were halted for a third day due to demands from opposition leaders for action against the governor's son, accused of assaulting a government official. The session saw walkouts, debates, and allegations between opposition and ruling party members, disrupting legislative activities.

The Odisha Assembly's proceedings were disrupted for the third consecutive day as opposition members demanded action against the governor's son for allegedly assaulting a government official.

Both the BJD and Congress walked out of the House, boycotting the Motion of Thanks on the Governor's address. Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi criticized the previous BJD government, asserting that he had bridged the gap between the chief minister and the people.

Majhi announced several initiatives, including the implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana and New Education Policy, which had not been introduced by the previous government. The Odisha government also plans to implement Subhadra Yojana for financial assistance to women.

The House saw further disruptions with opposition MLAs walking out during the debate on the governor's address. Earlier, ruckus ensued over the alleged assault, leading to multiple adjournments.

Speaker Surama Padhy called an all-party meeting to resolve the impasse, as both sides blamed each other for the disruption.
