BHUBANESWAR: Leader of Opposition Narasingh Mishra on Friday resigned from business advisory committee (BAC) of the Assembly protesting the autocratic attitude of the State Government and ruling BJD.
Mishra had asked the Government on Thursday to remove the red beacon from his vehicle and withdraw security cover given to him. “In pursuance to my declaration in the House on March 22, I submit my resignation from Odisha Legislative Assembly. This may be accepted forthwith,” Mishra said in a letter to the Assembly Secretary.
The Opposition Leader said he resigned in protest against the ‘autocratic attitude’ of the Government in the Assembly.
“As the Government has not been giving any importance to the BAC which decides business to be undertaken in the House, I preferred to resign from the committee,” he said.
Mishra had announced in the Assembly on March 22 that he would resign from the committee as Speaker Niranjan Pujari had permitted the Government to run the House in a partisan manner.
