Jogi today said he had given a no-confidence motion

notice over the state government's decision to sell liquor through state-owned corporation, and sought discussion over it.

The Speaker, however, rejected his notice.

Unsatisfied with the ruling, Jogi, Kaushik and Rai then trooped into the well of the House demanding ban on sale of liquor in the state, following which they were suspended.

Just before the House adjourned for the day, the Speaker said the three Congress MLAs have been suspended till 11 AM on March 7.

Amit, son of former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi, and an MLA from Marwahi seat has been expelled from the party while Rai, a legislator from Gunderdehi constituency, has been suspended for anti-party activities.

Kaushik is the Congress MLA from Bilha seat.
