The Eighth Goa Assembly, convening on July 15 for its Budget session, faced two adjournments as Speaker Tawadkar halted proceedings amidst a contentious dispute between the opposition and ruling party. The disruption stemmed from a breach of privilege motion raised by MLA Daji Salkar against Altone D’Costa. Salkar accused D’Costa of making derogatory remarks about the Speaker regarding a resolution on ST issues, leading to heated exchanges and necessitating the adjournments to restore order in the house.
