Row erupts in Goa Assembly after Opposition MLA calls Speaker ‘employee of CM’

Hindustan Times  

A row erupted in the Goa Assembly on Tuesday, a day after Goa Forward Party MLA Vijai Sardesai called Speaker Ramesh Tawadkar an 'employee of the CM'. Opposition MLAs from the Congress, the GFP, the Aam Aadmi Party, and the Revolutionary Goans were due to meet the Speaker on Tuesday, seeking a Private Members' Day during the January session of the Assembly. "The 'Private Members' Day' is enshrined in the Constitution and not having it in this session is because Chief Minister Pramod Sawant is worried his government will be exposed in the House by the Opposition," Sardesai had alleged while speaking to the media. On the demand, the Opposition MLAs said, “Friday is always 'Private Members' Day' during an Assembly session, which allows them to move bills and resolutions”.
