Congress MLA and former chief minister Bhupesh Baghel was among the 30 MLAs suspended from the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly for a day on Thursday after they created an uproar, accusing the BJP-led state government of failing to ensure adequate supply of diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertilizer.

Senior Congress MLA Umesh Patel asked about the demand of DAP and its supply in the state. He also asked whether there is a shortage of this fertilizer. 

The MLAs claimed that the fertilizer is available in the private sector and shopkeepers have been black marketing it. After the business resumed, Congress members again raised the issue. Shouting slogans against the government, they trooped into the well of the House and were automatically suspended.
