Later speaking to media persons, Leader of the opposition Manik Sarkar claimed that the Speaker of Tripura Legislative Assembly not only allowed the approach but was persistently inclined towards the treasury bench. Such one-eyed treatment is very painful which prompted our leaders to stage the walkout.
Speaker Tripura Legislative Assembly later said that the concerns of the opposition could have been discussed had they stayed in the house instead of staging a walkout.
