Madhya Pradesh Assembly: The protest began with Congress MLAs entering the assembly carrying empty sacks of fertilizer, symbolizing the shortage of fertilizers faced by farmers.
The winter session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly began today with a dramatic show of opposition by the Congress. Inside the House, outside on the streets, and on tractors, Congress leaders attempted to corner the state government over issues affecting farmers, women, and youth.
The protest began with Congress MLAs attempting to enter the assembly carrying empty sacks of fertilizer, symbolizing the shortage of fertilizers faced by farmers.
But they were stopped by the security personnel and were forced to leave them at the gate before proceeding. Inside the House, the Congress tried to raise farmers' issues but, failing to gain traction, walked out in protest.
