Earlier on Wednesday, Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar suspended Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi for the entire duration of the ongoing Budget session.

He alleged that the government has failed to deliver on its promises, including doubling incomes and creating new jobs. He also expressed concern over the arrangements made for the Kumbh, citing issues with food, stampedes, and accidents.
