Bhubaneswar: Odisha Assembly Speaker Surama Padhy on Monday rejected the Opposition Congress’s notice seeking to move a ‘no-confidence motion’ against the 15-month-old BJP government in the State. The Congress claimed that the notice was rejected without any valid reason and started a ‘dharna’ on the Assembly premises. The Congress Legislature Party, which has 14 members, had submitted the no-confidence notice with signatures of 15 MLAs, including one from the CPI (M). The Speaker has rejected our notice to move a no-confidence motion against the BJP government without any valid reason. The ground on which the Speaker rejected the notice is not justified,” Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Rama Chandra Kadam told reporters, and alleged that it was a well-hatched conspiracy by the BJP and BJD.
