During the proceedings, former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel accused central investigative agencies of being misused to target opposition leaders, sparking sharp exchanges with the ruling BJP. Senior BJP leader Ajay Chandrakar strongly objected to the allegations.

The Congress had moved an adjournment motion seeking discussion on the alleged misuse of investigative agencies. However, the Speaker ruled the motion inadmissible, prompting the opposition to intensify their protest.

Congress MLAs raised slogans including “Stop misuse of investigative agencies,” “Bharat Mata Ki Jai,” and “Mahatma Gandhi Ki Jai” while entering the well of the House. In response, the Speaker suspended the protesting Congress members for disorderly conduct.

The incident caused significant disruption to Assembly proceedings, underscoring the growing confrontation between the government and opposition over the actions of central agencies.
