Rashtriya Janata Dal created a ruckus in Bihar Assembly over the sitting arrangement and not taking action against the rebel MLAs. The uproar among the MLAs increased so much that the Speaker even had to call the marshal. The whole matter is related to Chetan Anand, Prahlad Yadav and Neelam Devi. The uproar increased so much that the Speaker had to adjourn the proceedings of the House.
What is the full story of the uproar?
When JDU separated from RJD in 2024, Nitish Kumar presented a trust motion. Three RJD MLAs came in support of this proposal. All three supported Nitish Kumar. After this, RJD started efforts to cancel the membership of these MLAs. An application was also given to the Speaker for this.
Despite this, membership of these MLAs has not been canceled for last 10 months. Due to this, RJD leaders are angry at the working style of the Speaker. RJD leaders say that under what pressure is the Speaker not canceling the membership of the rebel MLAs?
issue of sitting on ministers’ seats
The reason behind the ruckus on Thursday was that the rebel MLAs were to sit on ministerial seats. RJD’s brother Virendra raised a question regarding this, on which the Speaker did not say anything.
Brother Virendra said that when the situation is like this, I can also sit on the Chief Minister’s chair. After this the brother started trying to sit on the CM chair, due to which the Speaker got enraged.
The speaker said that if you do this, it will be a big mistake. After this the speaker called the marshal and got brother Virendra thrown out. The proceedings of the House were adjourned for 2 pm.
What has Tejashwi Yadav said in the whole matter?
Tejashwi Yadav’s reaction has come on the whole ruckus. Tejashwi has said that in the sitting arrangement, RJD’s rebel MLAs have been sitting on the seats of ministers for the last three sessions. As per rules, even today he is MLA of RJD. Why is no action being taken against them?
Tejashwi further said that there is a need to run the House according to rules. I trust the speaker. As far as brother Virendra was concerned, he was just standing near the Chief Minister’s chair.
