Assembly Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan rejected the demand for an alcohol test. However, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa backed calls for breath analyzer tests for all MLAs, including the Chief Minister.

During the heated exchanges, BJP leader Sunil Jakhar stated, “If someone enters a temple or gurudwara under the influence of alcohol, it’s contempt and disrespect.” This statement highlighted the seriousness of the allegations against Mann.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government moved a confidence motion in the Assembly, which passed unanimously amidst the turmoil. Meanwhile, the Congress staged a walkout from the House.

Later, BJP and Akali Dal MLAs also walked out in protest. Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal accused Mann of appearing in the assembly ‘drunk’, further intensifying political tensions.

Aman Arora of AAP criticized the opposition’s actions, saying, “The Congress has been making baseless and frivolous remarks, which is unfortunate and amounts to adding salt to the wounds of workers and undermining the dignity of the House.”

The session aimed to honor workers on Labour Day but devolved into chaos instead. The political atmosphere remains charged as various parties continue to clash over these allegations.

With multiple walkouts and accusations flying, it is unclear how this incident will impact public trust in the assembly. The next expected developments will likely revolve around further discussions on accountability among legislators.
