Chaos In Bihar Assembly As Oppn Seeks Tejashwi Yadav's Resignation Over Land For Jobs Case: Watch

Bihar Assembly on Monday witnessed massive chaos after the opposition staged a protest and sought Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav's resignation over his alleged involvement in the land for jobs case.

Bihar assembly on Monday witnessed chaos and ruckus after opposition MLAs staged a protest seeking the resignation of Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav over his name being charge-sheeted in the land-for-jobs case. According to ANI, a BJP MLA reportedly raised a chair against the Speaker leading to the adjournment of the session till 2 PM. Earlier, the leader of opposition in the Bihar Assembly staged a protest demanding the dismissal of Tejashwi Yadav over his alleged involvement in the case.

According to PTI, no sooner than the House assembled at 11 am, the BJP MLAs entered the well raising slogans and a few of them tried to upturn the table meant for the reporting staff and placed chairs on it. As per the report, a heated exchange also took place between Education Minister Chandra Shekhar and former minister Pramod Kumar. The situation worsened to the level that marshals were called to stand in the way of the latter who walked menacingly towards the treasury benches.

Amid the chaos, Speaker Awadh Bihari Chaudhary tried to run the House before telling the opposition members that such behaviour is reprehensible and tantamount to a blot on democracy. The Speaker, thereafter, announced that the House would reassemble after lunch hour, at 2 pm, reported the agency.

Meanwhile, BJP MLA Sanjay Saraogi told reporters outside the House, "We will not allow the House to run unless Yadav resigns or he is sacked by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar."

Saraogi taunted Kumar for having brought Yadav to the assembly, the day before, in his own car just for the sake of protecting his chair. "We cannot believe he is the same man who used to make his ministers resign merely on the basis of FIR. In this case, there is a chargesheet," he said.

Tejashawi Yadav's name figured in a chargesheet submitted by the CBI last week in the land-for-jobs 'scam' case. According to PTI, the case pertains to people allegedly given employment in the railways, during the tenure of Lalu Prasad as the Railway Minister, in return for land parcels gifted or sold at cheap rates to the Yadav family and their associates. The chargesheet also names Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi.
