Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and other leaders on Tuesday, January 17, 2024, laid emphasis on upholding democratic values and taking up meaningful debates in the State Assemblies to enable the legislators to achieve the targets of public welfare and meet the people’s aspirations. They were addressing a one-day training workshop for newly elected MLAs in the Rajasthan Assembly here.
Mr. Dhankhar said both the ruling party and the Opposition had the responsibility to run the House smoothly. “Suggestions may come from the treasury benches, but the suggestions given by the Opposition should get an equal weightage and be considered with contemplation,” he said.
Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani, former Assembly Speaker and Congress leader C.P. Joshi, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, Rajya Sabha Member Ghanshyam Tiwari and Lok Sabha Member Rajendra Agrawal also addressed the programme.
