BJP, Congress MLAs Suspended in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh

In Jharkhand, several BJP MLAs spent the night in the assembly lobby after being evicted for protesting against Chief Minister Hemant Soren's refusal to address their questions on employment and other issues. The protest led to the suspension of 17 BJP MLAs for 'disrespecting the dignity' of the House, with the Speaker invoking rules 299, 300, and 310. Meanwhile, in Chhattisgarh, Congress MLAs were suspended from the Vidhan Sabha for creating a ruckus over issues related to spurious seeds, fertilizers, and electricity problems faced by farmers. The assembly was also disrupted due to demands for a debate on the Baloda Bazar violence, resulting in further suspensions. Both incidents highlight the increasing tensions and disruptions within legislative sessions in the lead-up to elections in both states.
