<h1>Assembly washed out after opposition protests over alleged fertiliser shortage and black marketing; Speaker adjourns twice</h1> The state assembly was washed out after repeated disruptions by opposition legislators protesting an alleged fertiliser shortage and black marketing during the kharif season; the Speaker adjourned proceedings twice, and the House transacted business for only about eight minutes in two brief phases. Protesters entered the well with placards demanding a full discussion, while the government accepted a notice for debate but faced calls for a longer session. The ruling side accused the opposition of seeking publicity and defaming the government, and threatened privilege action against several opposition members for publicly disclosing a no-confidence notice, which those members denied.
