GUWAHATI: Raijor Dal president and Sivasagar MLA Akhil Gogoi was suspended from the Budget session of the Assam Legislative Assembly for allegedly disrupting proceedings of the house on Monday, March 14.
Akhil Gogoi was suspended by speaker Biswajit Daimary for allegedly trying to disrupt the Governor's speech by repeatedly raising the issues of employment of one lakh youths as promised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government.
The Sivasagar MLA was also seen protesting with a placard in his hand.
Gogoi, speaking to the media outside the Assembly, said, "The Governor's speech did not mention any of the major problems the State faces. The speech was very disappointing with no clear policies and programmes. Although the State Government has not fulfilled even one-tenth of the promises made, the Governor in his speech hailed the Government for their success in meeting the promises".
