PANJIM: The Congress party has alleged that the legislative assembly speaker Rajendra Arlekar has been taking the government’s side in the assembly debates. “After 10 minutes, the bell rings and in the 11th minute we are asked to sit down. Why does he (speaker) not allow (the opposition) to speak at length?” he asked.
When asked whether he was casting allegations against the speaker, he said everyone has been complaining about the same. “When Pratapsing Rane was the speaker, the opposition (then BJP) was given enough opportunity to speak,” he claimed.
