Why the government has stopped the purchasing?", asked Congress MLA Ramkishore Dogne.In the meantime, when the deputy speaker instructed to continue the proceedings, Congress members again stormed the well and shouted slogans demanding loan waiver for the farmers.Speaker Sitasharan Sharma chaired the house and tried to pacify the MLAs but to no avail.

The agriculture minister should clarify as so many MLAs were getting agitated on this issue", he demanded.Replying to the queries, agriculture minister Bisen said that after the session, he would call a meeting of the officials to restart purchase of Moong and Urd pulses at MSP in all districts till July 30.But, the Congress leaders raised demand of loan waiver and corruption in onion purchase. LOP alleged that general manager of civil supplies corporation was caught on tape demanding money for onion purchase. As the debate intensified, Congress leaders stormed the well, shouting slogans for loan waiver and action against food minister for alleged corruption in onion purchase.During the melee, speaker cleared the call attention motion raised by some members. But, Congress MLAs continued creating ruckus and staged a sit-in protest in the well amid slogan shouting. When Speaker refused to accept their demand to initiate a discussion, the Opposition benches staged a walkout in protest.Reacting sharply against Congress protest in the house, BJP said that Congress is frustrated with the reply given by chief minister Chouhan during discussion on adjournment motion, a day before."The Opposition is not serious about matters related to the public. The government discussed farmers' problems for more than 12 hours during last two days and gave every chance to the Opposition to spell out their vows. It was also assured that what chief minister had announced in the house would be done by July 31. But, the Congress seem to be frustrated by chief minster's befitting reply to their queries'', said revenue minister Umashankar Gupta.After Opposition walkout, the Speaker instructed to complete the routine business and adjourned the house for the day.
