After that the election of the Deputy Speaker was announced and the proceedings of the House were adjourned indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Leader of Opposition Narayan Chandel wrote a letter to the Speaker of the Assembly, questioning the role of the Speaker. Chandel wrote that the Speaker has deprived them of their right to work by keeping the Opposition unaware about the last moment change. The Assembly session was also adjourned sine die two days before its schedule which is an insult to the Opposition.
