On March 10, Samajwadi Party Members of Parliament, led by Dimple Yadav, organized a demonstration outside the Parliament building, advocating for fair pricing for farmers. During the protest, the MPs brought sacks of potatoes and displayed banners that asserted, “Give a fair price for potatoes, don’t harass farmers.” This action was aimed at highlighting the struggles faced by farmers regarding potato pricing.

Discussion in Lok Sabha

During the Question Hour in Lok Sabha, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed inquiries regarding the restructuring of the Krishonnati Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri-Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana. However, the session was marked by interruptions as opposition MPs vocally criticized the Election Commission, alleging “vote theft.” As a result of the ongoing disruption, the Lok Sabha was adjourned until noon.

Opposition Moves Against Speaker

In a separate development, the opposition plans to introduce a no-confidence resolution against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Congress MP K Suresh indicated that this resolution would be presented if the House session was conducted smoothly. Suresh remarked that the previous day’s proceedings had been hindered by multiple adjournments.

Support for the Motion

As many as 118 opposition MPs have reportedly signed the no-confidence motion, citing allegations of partiality by the Speaker, particularly concerning the exclusion of Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi from speaking during debates. The resolution would be tabled pending approval from the House, which is necessary to proceed with such motions.

Discussion Among MPs

Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju is expected to initiate the parliamentary discussion regarding the no-confidence motion. Several BJP MPs, including Anurag Thakur, Nishikant Dubey, Ravi Shankar Prasad, and Bhartruhari Mahtab, are slated to provide their perspectives during these discussions. Additionally, Congress MPs such as Gaurav Gogoi, Manish Tewari, Deepender Singh Hooda, and Jothimani are set to advocate for the resolution seeking the Speaker’s removal.
