BENGALURU: Karnataka Assembly Speaker U.T. Khader on Tuesday said the government had taken serious note of delays in providing answers to legislators’ questions.
He stated that directions had been issued to the concerned ministers and officials to ensure replies are submitted promptly.
The issue surfaced a day after the Speaker adjourned the Assembly on Monday, sharply criticising the Congress-led government for failing to provide answers to unstarred questions despite repeated warnings from the Chair.
Home Minister G. Parameshwara informed the House that out of 221 questions listed for the day, answers to only 58 would be placed before the Assembly. He said the government had already discussed the matter and taken corrective steps.
