Leader of the opposition Surjya Kanta Mishra said the chief minister's statement was to be on price rise but she ended up announcing the increase in DA.


Countering Mishra, Banerjee said the opposition could not dictate to her and she was only speaking on issues which were related.

Speaker Biman Banerjee ruled the chief minister had the right to make a statement in the House on any vital matter.

Later, as Banerjee attacked the United Progressive Alliance government for the escalating prices, the Congress members walked out after the speaker turned down their demand that they be allowed to present their viewpoint on the issue.
