In a dramatic move, Congress MLAs in the Uttarakhand Assembly demanded immediate action regarding allegations of rigging during the recent panchayat elections. Their insistence resulted in multiple adjournments, marking a tumultuous session on Wednesday.
On the first day of the Monsoon session, Congress members attempted to discuss their concerns through an adjournment motion. However, when their demands were rebuffed, they resorted to an overnight sit-in on the Assembly floor, highlighting their determination.
The tension escalated as Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan and Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's attempts to quell the protest were ignored. Amidst slogans and a charged atmosphere, proceedings stalled, indicating a deep political rift.
