North India Statesman
News India Live, Digital Desk: The political temperature once again reached high during the monsoon session of Bihar Assembly. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s ‘furious form’ was seen amid the proceedings of the House. The Chief Minister was so angry with the behavior and remarks of senior leader of opposition RJD, Bhai Virendra, that he scolded him in the House itself.
What was the whole matter?
When Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was presenting his views on some serious issue in the House, RJD MLA Bhai Virendra intervened. Nitish Kumar suddenly got upset over brother Virendra’s comments and his style of speaking. Pointing directly towards brother Virendra he said, “Is this any way? The way you are speaking, is this the norm?”
3 big reasons for Nitish Kumar’s displeasure:
Violation of parliamentary decorum: Expressing displeasure, the Chief Minister said that there is a way to express one’s point in the House, which the opposition is forgetting again and again.
Work interruption: Nitish Kumar believed that when the government is responding, the opposition should listen patiently and not make noise.
Old bitterness: In the politics of Bihar, the old tussle between Nitish Kumar and RJD leaders often comes out in the form of such confrontation on the floor of the House.
Brother Virendra and the opposition’s counterattack
After the Chief Minister’s anger, there was noise in the House for a long time. Bhai Virendra and the opposition camp say that they were raising the voice of the public and the government is trying to put pressure on them. After this incident, a new debate has started in the politics of Bihar regarding ‘decency’ and ‘behavior’.
What is its meaning in Bihar politics?
This is not the first time that Nitish Kumar has become enraged in this manner in the House. Experts believe that the Chief Minister is feeling uncomfortable due to the continuous siege by the opposition, the result of which is visible in the form of heated clashes in the House.
