Bhubaneswar, March 29: Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader Rama Chandra Kadam and party MLA Ashok Das fell ill on Saturday while participating in a protest in front of the Odisha Assembly building. 

According to a party official, both leaders were promptly taken to the Capital Hospital after they became unwell.

Kadam and Das had been staging a dharna near gate number 3 of the Assembly building, protesting their denial of entry into the premises. Kadam explained that when they attempted to enter the Assembly grounds to hold a sit-in near the Mahatma Gandhi statue, security personnel prevented them from entering. 

He emphasized that, although they had been suspended from the House, they still had the right to enter the Assembly premises, describing the denial as "illegal and undemocratic."

The two lawmakers sat on the dharna for about three hours under the intense heat, which led to their health deteriorating. Medical assistance was sought, and both were later transferred to Capital Hospital due to symptoms of dehydration, a party representative confirmed.

Kadam and Das were among the 14 Congress MLAs who were suspended for seven days on March 25 and 26 for "indiscipline" after causing a disturbance in the Assembly.
