First-timers to get coaching on how to speak in Vidhan Sabha: Middha

Newly elected Deputy Speaker of Vidhan Sabha, Dr Krishan Chand Middha, said they were planning to hold a special class for new legislators so as to coach them how to speak in the Assembly.

“A total of 40 new MLAs have come to Vidhan Sabha this time. We will not only give them adequate time to speak but also hold their coaching class so that they could know how to speak in the Vidhan Sabha,” said Middha while interacting with media ahead of a workshop organised by the BJP at its state headquarters here on Saturday.

Among 40 first-time MLAs, 23 belong to the BJP, 13 Congress, two INLD and two were Independents. The BJP has elevated its first timer MLAs, including Shruti Choudhry, Arti Singh Rao, Gaurav Gautam and Arvind Sharma, to the Cabinet and state ministers.

In reply to a question on the BJP's membership drive, Middha said all MLAs would make the party members in their respective Assembly constituencies. “MLAs will not face any issue in completing the membership target. People are keen to join the BJP as they have known that the BJP works for the betterment of every section of society, hence they want to join the BJP,” he added.

Earlier, the BJP’s state incharge Satish Poonia said ideology and organisation had a great importance in the BJP. “The BJP's organisation runs on the strength of workers, the party's constitution and tradition. The party membership is the foundation of the organisation. Our workers know how to fight in every sort of situation. The narrative set by Congress in the Assembly elections was destroyed by our workers and we succeeded in forming the government for the third time,” he added.

Poonia maintained that the BJP's continuous victory had sent a positive message in Haryana that only BJP can ensure development of the state and welfare of every section of society. “People have understood that Haryana will move forward under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini,” he added.
