Congress sails through first floor test in MP Assembly

Bhopal: Amidst dramatic scenes and walkout by the BJP, Congress nominee M.P. Prajapati was on Tuesday elected the Speaker of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly in the first floor test for the ruling party which had returned to power last month after 15 years. There was pandemonium and two adjournments for a period of 10 minutes each after the BJP demanded that the resolution proposing the name of its candidate Vijay Shah should also be taken up along with the motion moved by the ruling party favouring the candidature of Prajapati.

It all started with Minister Govind Singh proposing the name of Prajapti, which was supported by Arif Akil, Vikram Singh and many other party MLAs. Protem Speaker Deepak Saxena took up the motion favouring Prajapati as BJP members objected to it saying their motion should also be taken up simultaneously. (IANS)
