BELOGIVAVI: Chairman of the Minister of Bumavaraj Bommai on Wednesday said the government would try to increase the number of state legislative sittings, starting from a shared session in January.
This step comes after criticism of decreasing the number of sitting, MLA’s low presence, often disorders and poor quality debate.
In 2012, the assembly of 225 members made it mandatory to transact business for at least 60 days a year.
However, sessions have been held less than 45 days in recent years and a record low of 32 days in 2021.
“We will conduct a longer legislative session, starting from a joint session in January followed by a budget in February.
-Baris.
We Even will try to extend the day for the next winter session to ensure MLAS gets adequate time and opportunities to express complaints, “Bommai told the legislature.
Some MLA cut party lines expressed concern for disorders that often occur, deteriorating the quality of debate and large amounts of MLA, which has been a problem during the recent legislative session.
“People have the impression that many parliamentarians have not participated in diligent debate and some also think the use of the words and the quality of the debate has deteriorated for years.
This is not done.
If we do not use this power and privilege, we only Blame ourselves.
We need to keep the tradition of alive to save democratic institutions, “said Vishweshwara speaker Hegde Kageri.
Kageri also stated sadness over members who did not heed His commands and took more than the time needed to debate the problem.
The suffering was distributed by senior legislators, including former BS Yediyurappa Minister’s head, HD Kumaraswamy, Minister of Law JC Madhuswamy, former speaker KR Ramesh Kumar, Senior Congress MLA R Reddy and JD (S) MLA HD Revanna.
Yediyurappa said it was the task of the speaker to improve the time depending on the importance of the subject and ensuring the members stick to it.
Responding to this, Kageri tried to find out why senior party officials did not come to save him when their party MLA caused a disturbance at home.
The MLA Congress and former Minister of Law and Parliament Krishna Byre Gowda urged the government to improve the time frame for the coming session to ensure that every legislator gets enough time to talk about the problems that translate it.
“With members under pressure from those in their electoral district, which is very important for their political survival, they must look at some problems at home.
However, if time is limited, they will decide not to attend assembly or talk alternately, “Gowda said.
Revanna suggested to the minister of speakers and parliaments sit together to give time for each party based on its strength, as in parliament, and ensure the problem is debatable at that time.
