BJP seeks Gahlot’s resignation for ‘leaking budget’; MLA gets suspended for a year

The Hindu  

Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Tuesday suspended BJP MLA Vijender Gupta until the next budget session for allegedly disrupting the House proceedings. Terming the move “unconstitutional”, Leader of the Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said the BJP will legally challenge the Speaker’s decision to suspend the MLA. Amid demands for Finance Minister Kailash Gahlot’s resignation by the BJP, Mr. Gupta, earlier in the day, had given a notice for breach of privileges against Mr. Gahlot and Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai over alleged leaking of budget details. Mr. Bidhuri said the AAP government and Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal “do not have the understanding of the constitutional provisions” as it announced the budget date without it being approved by the Central government. Ahead of Mr. Kejriwal’s address, Mr. Bidhuri said, “During former CM Sheila Dikshit’s government, her Finance Minister Mahinder Singh Saathi had once announced the budget date before the Centre’s nod.
