The Opposition trooped to the well of the House, shouting slogans and protesting against the lack of clarity on various issues and queries raised by them in Chief Minister Pramod Sawant’s reply to the discussion on the demands for grants pertaining to general administration, finance, excise, skill development and other departments.
Leader of Opposition Yuri Alemao sprung to his feet no sooner Sawant completed his reply alleging that the chief minister had failed to address several issues raised by Opposition legislators during the discussion.
He later walked to the well of the House shouting slogans and was followed by the entire Opposition in a move that caught the House marshals off guard.
The marshals were then seen scrambling in the well to build a protective human wall of obstruction between the Opposition legislators and the desk of Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar, even as the latter went through the motions of putting the demands through a voice-vote passage amidst the commotion.
