CM Naveen Patnaik says points raised by Opposition to be discussed constructively in Assembly [Odisha Diary]

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik says points raised by Opposition will be 'discussed constructively' in Assembly. BJD supremo said this after the meeting of BJD legislature party.

Talking to newsmen after the first formal BJD Legislative Party (BJD LP) meeting in the Assembly premises on Wednesday evening, Patnaik said, “During the Assembly Session, we will bring many important issues and discuss them positively,” adding that whatever issues members of the Opposition raise would also be responded positively.

The BJDLP meeting lasted only for around 20 minutes under the Chairmanship of Chief Minister Patnaik which had been convened to discuss and decide strategies to be adopted during the Session to face the Opposition in the House. As many as108 of the117 BJD MLAs attended the meeting.

According to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Bikram Keshari Arukh, the meeting adopted a resolution thanking the people of the State for reposing faith and confidence on the BJD and showering their blessing to form Government for the fourth time.

The Chief Minister stressed on the need to work unitedly and vigorously to fulfil the expectations of the people.  Patnaik advised the Parliamentary Affairs Minister to ensure that the new members are given ample time and scope to participate in different transactions of the House. Besides, in his usual advisory, Patnaik told the members to remain present during the Session and participate in the proceedings and also raise the basic problems of their constituencies for redressal.

Arukh said the party would work to meet the aspirations of people and discuss every issue to be raised by the Opposition for betterment of the State. However, he said that so far no notice for introduction of new bills had reached the Assembly Secretariat. Since only one day has been fixed for official business, there is unlikely that any new bills would be introduced during the Session. The main job of the House this time is to pass a full-fledged Budget for the fiscal 2014-15.
 

First session of 15th Odisha Legislative Assembly to begin from tomorrow. While the election of the deputy speaker of the Assembly will be held on June 16, the full state budget would be presented on June 17. The session will take a two-week break between June 24 and July 8 and will have 25 working days. The Appropriation Bill is scheduled to be placed before the Assembly for passing on July 28, the sources added.

The 15th assembly will see the ruling BJD occupying 117 seats while opposition Congress has got only 16 seats followed by BJP with 10 seats in the 147-member House. While CPI(M) and Samata Kranti Dal candidates won one seat each, two seats have been captured by independent candidates.
