These programmes will be implemented in a phased manner, the ruling party said.
The Opposition demanded that the ruling should disclose the details of the various projects it was planning to implement in the State. It alleged that the ruling party was only making false promises. Instead of giving false assurances, the members should resign from their post, the Opposition members demanded.
They tried to create a scene by beating the benches. And ruling party members decided to complain to the Speaker on the behaviour of the Opposition members.
