Haryana Assembly Election 2019: Kiran Choudhary, Naina Chautala among MLAs with maximum posers
Senior Congress leader Kiran Choudhary and Jannayak Janta Party leader Naina Chautala figure among the Haryana MLAs who asked maximum questions in the state assembly in the past five years, according to report. In the report on the performance of MLAs in the outgoing 90-member assembly revealed only 75 legislators asked questions during assembly sessions.
As per the report released on Sunday by Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) and Haryana Election Watch (HEW), Tosham MLA Kiran Choudhary raised 225 queries. Dabwali MLA Naina Chautala, who was elected as an INLD MLA, asked 180 questions before switching over to the JJP, said the report by ADR, a non-government organisation working for electoral reforms. The report was based on replies received from Haryana assembly secretariat to a pea under the Right to Information Act, seeking information on MLAs’ performance.
INLD MLA Kehar Singh from Hathin constituency, who recently joined BJP, had asked 124 questions and is the third on the list. Congress’ Karan Singh Dalal came at ninth spot having asked 105 questions followed by BJP’s Prem Lata at 91. According to the report, there are 16 MLAs who didn’t ask even a single question during the assembly sessions. Notably, the performance of 91 MLAs in the 90-member assembly was taken into account because sitting legislator from Jind had passed away and later bypolls were held to the seat this year and a new legislator got elected.
