Horatti too asks Bommai to ensure attendance of all Ministers during session
The Hindu
He warns of action against absentee Ministers and officials
Legislative Council Chairman Basavaraj Horatti has written to Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai seeking mandatory presence of all the Ministers during the ensuing session of the Legislative Council beginning on Monday. Assembly Speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri too has asked the Chief Minister to ensure this. In the letter to the Chief Minister, Mr. Horatti recalled that during the previous sessions, several Ministers had sought permission to abstain themselves from the session citing various constituency-related works. However, such a trend would tantamount to curtailing the rights of members as they would be deprived of seeking reply from the government, he observed. Ministers’ presence would help in finding solution to various problems gripping the State through discussion during the legislature debates, he opined.More Related News
