The adjournment motion was on the recent decision of the state government to use 30 per cent of land allotted to the tea gardens for the purpose of tourism. Opposing the move, BJP's legislative team wanted to move an adjournment motion seeking discussion on the issue.

However, as the discussion was denied, the BJP legislators started protesting, raising slogans and displaying placards in the House. Later they staged a walkout and continued their protest on the Assembly lawn.
