Congress boycotts Gujarat budget speech on ‘photo-frame’ issue
Congress boycotts Gujarat budget speech on ‘photo-frame’ issue
By our correspondent
Gandhinagar, DeshGujarat, 25 February, 2010
Only state information department is allowed to capture inside proceedings of Gujarat assembly, however this time some news channels carried footage relayed by Information department and telecast the budget. The information department cameras fix a vision during budget speech for last two years that captures Finance Minister and Chief Minister in one frame. The frame captured through TV is visible in photo given above for your reference. Congress alleges that the Finance Minister delivers budget speech by sitting on chair to accommodate the Chief Minister in camera frame.
Gujarat Congress MLAs today walked out of Gujarat assembly budget session protesting speaker’s permission to Fiance minister Vajubhai Vala to deliver his budget speech sitting on chair that he shares with Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Before the budget speech, Chief Whip of BJP Shri Pradipsinhji Jadeja demanded speaker’s permission for Finance Minister so that he could deliver budget speech sitting on chair.
When Assembly speaker Ashok Bhatt said it was his right to allow any member to speak while sitting on chair and permitted Vala for the same, the leader of opposition Shaktisinh Gohil stood up and said,: “In past when then Finance minister Manoharsinh Jadeja was unwell he said his minister of state for same department would read the budget by standing on foot. Jadeja said he would not choose to deliver the budget speech sitting on chair and he did that. Now it is improper to allow Shri Vajubhai Vala who wants to deliver the speech sitting on chair only to accommodate some face(Chief Minister’s) in budget speech’s photo frame.”
Speaker Ashok Bhatt ordered to remove Shaktisinh Gohil’s statement from record and reiterated that it was his right to allow any member who would like to speak while sitting on chair.
Soon after this, Congress MLAs walked out of the assembly. After Finance minister Vajubhai Vala started his speech, speaker Ashok Bhatt interrupted it and said: “In assembly procedure, Governor’s address and Finance Minister’s budget speech are very important. As these two speeches are too long, when they request that they want to speak sitting on chair, I approve their requests. last year also then Finance Minister requested through party chief whip and I accepted that request. There is a rule that if for any reason, a member of assembly wants to sit and speak, a speaker can allow.”
“I take it very seriously, that a person who holds honorable post like Leader of opposition said today that the Finance Minister wanted to deliver his budget speech sitting on chair to accommodate the Chief Minister sitting next to him in a photograph of budget speech. I take serious note of this,” Bhatt added.
It should be mentioned that Finance Minister Vajubhai Vala delivers his budget speech sitting on chair for last two years. He sits next to Chief Minister Narendra Modi. Congress alleges that Vajubhai delivers budget speech sitting on chair to accommodate Narendra Modi in photo and video frame of budget speech. If he delivers his speech standing on foot, only his face would be visible in photo and video frame and Chief Minister would be left out!
After coming out of assembly house, Congress MLAs burnt copies of Gujarat budget. Earlier Congress walked out during discussion on law and order situation in Southern Saurashtra’s Kodinar area. The walk-out staged on camera-frame issue was second one on Thursday.

It is a shame. This goondaraj Kangress is no good. They are blatantly behaving as a bunch of unconstitutional anarchies. Our Bhaarat is better off without these Nehru Sonia Rahul chamchaagiri rascals. Throw them out of Gujarat.

Shaktisinh Gohil and other congress members never use brain. They do nonsense at imp occasion like Budget for petty issue.

As long as Congress Party in Gujarat has leaders like Solanki, an idiot, whose only reason to leave assembly was Mr Modi in Video/photo frame during budget speech, Gujarati voters can see why they should not vote for Congress. Opposition not interested in constuctive critisism and has nothing better to offer.

Can’t they find better issues to oppose? Its such as silly matter to discuss and they made a big fuss out of it and even walked out!!!
Least thing Gujarat Congress needs to do first is to find people in the party at least with a Brain or little intellectual (or Hire if they don’t have)

Everybody knows that our CM has fond of coming on video. Therefore, he asked vajubhai vala to read the budget sitting on chair in stead of standing on foot. vaju vala thinks that if modiji moves to national politics, he has chance to be CM, so he wants to please modiji. what a mean thinking!!!

Shame on you congress party members.People are watching your drama in GUJARAT,INDIA & AROUND THE WORLD.

I think the entire goondaclass Kangress would do well to boycott our Parliament because of their Sonia Madam eating chewing gum sitting irresponsibly while the entire Parliament is live in session.
Their tamashaa politics is evident from their sitting UPA cabinet minister who doesn’t even care to stand up for our National Anthem.
The destructive mindset of these Kangressi chamchaas is evident from their misused abuse of their brains into complete bankruptcy of morality, ethics, or constitutionality.
It is apt to have a honorable speaker like brutal Ashok Bhat to throw out these nuisance that take undue advantage of our democracy.
