Opp disrupts governor's address in Uttarakhand assembly

Dehradun , Feb 24 Pandemonium prevailed in the Uttarakhand assembly on the first day of budget session today with Governor B L Joshi addressing the House amid anti-government slogans raised by Congress-led opposition.

As the house assembled for the day, the members belonging to Congress and BSP started shouting slogans against the Khanduri government saying that it had failed to deliver anything good for the people and they were not ready to listen to the"wrong praise"of the government.

Speaker Harbans Kapoor asked the agitating legislators to take their seats as they should not disrupt the governor&aposs address. But they did not relent and continued raising the slogans.

Later, Governor Joshi completed his address amid the pandemonium.

Leader of the Opposition Harak Singh Rawat later told reporters that the government had completely failed to do anything good for the people and was busy only in laying foundations for the new projects keeping an eye on the polls.

Leader of the BSP legislature party Mohammed Shehzad also echoed the similar views and said that they protested against the anti-people policies of the government.
