Raipur : Thirty-two legislators of Chhattisgarh’s opposition Congress party were suspended for a day from the state assembly Tuesday after they trooped towards the speaker’s podium.

The Congress has a strength of 38 in the 90-member house. Six members of the party were absent.
The suspension was made under Rule-250 of the assembly. Those suspended include leader of opposition Ravindra Choubey, deputy leader of opposition Rampukar Singh, former chief minister Ajit Jogi and his wife Renu Jogi.
