Congress Walks Out of Haryana Assembly Over Altered VB-G RAM-G Resolution

The Speaker admitted a revised Rule 84 motion on the rural jobs law citing Rule 75-A, prompting Congress to call the move a breach of procedure.

Overview

  • Congress MLAs left the House after objecting that a motion on the Viksit Bharat G-RAM-G law was introduced in violation of assembly rules during the budget session.
  • The assembly secretariat changed the listed resolution from a claim of extending guaranteed work from 100 to 125 days to a focus on confusion about the scheme’s provisions.
  • Congress leaders Aftab Ahmed and B. B. Batra argued Rule 84 bars such substitution and said a central Act already passed by Parliament is not properly debatable under that rule.
  • Speaker Harvinder Kalyan cited Rule 75-A to justify amending the notice and said the House could discuss matters arising from a central law if public confusion exists.
  • BJP MLA Ram Kumar Kashyap presented the resolution as ministers accused Congress of spreading misinformation, while Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini asserted the scheme offers 125 workdays and criticized the boycott; Congress said it is ready to debate within proper rules or during the Motion of Thanks.
