News India Live, Digital Desk: The budget session of Bihar Assembly was marred by uproar today. As soon as the House proceedings began, there was a heated argument between the ruling party and the opposition. While Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha praised the achievements of the government, RJD workers led by Tejashwi Yadav and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi demonstrated in the middle of the House (in the Well), cornering the government on various issues.
Nitish Kumar’s ‘strong’ style
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar looked very aggressive in the House today. Answering the questions raised by the opposition, he clearly said that no one can stop the pace of development of Bihar. Pointing towards Tejashwi Yadav, he said that “some people know only how to speak, not how to work.” After this statement of Nitish Kumar, the MLAs of the ruling party in the House welcomed him by thumping the tables.
Tejashwi and Rabri Devi’s attack on the government
Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav put Nitish government in the dock on the issue of law and order and unemployment. He alleged that the crime graph in Bihar is increasing rapidly and the government is failing to stop it. At the same time, Rabri Devi also criticized the government’s policies inside and outside the House and termed it ‘anti-people’.
Vijay Sinha’s counterattack
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha hit back at RJD and said that those who themselves are surrounded by corruption allegations are today raising questions on good governance. He said that the NDA government is accountable to the people of Bihar and ‘Jungle Raj’ will not be allowed to return at any cost.
Heated atmosphere on these issues
There was a lot of sloganeering in the House today regarding special category status, reinstatement of teachers and increasing crime graph. In view of the uproar, the Speaker of the Assembly had to adjourn the proceedings of the House several times. Even amid the huge uproar from the opposition, the government tried to complete some important legislative work.
