Patna, 14/3′ A BJP MLA in Bihar was on Tuesday suspended for two days on account of unruly behaviour, triggering protests from his party colleagues who staged a walkout though the government praised Speaker Awadh Bihari Chaudhary for setting a “good precedent”.
As Chaudhary announced the suspension of Lakhendra Raushan, the latter rose in his seat in protest, claiming that he had “not vandalised the microphone”, which he was being held guilty of, and claimed that the device “was defective and came off on its own”.
“I was taking part in the proceedings. It was my turn to speak during the Question Hour and the microphone was not working properly. I tried to adjust it but it was defective and came off on its own”, Raushan screamed, recalling the incident that had taken place in the pre-lunch session.
