The Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday created a ruckus in the Assembly, demanding the resignation of Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav over the charge sheet filed against him in the land-for-jobs scam case.
The BJP lawmakers accused Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of “compromising with corruption”. As soon as the Assembly proceedings commenced, BJP MLA Janak Ram demanded the resignation of Mr. Tejashwi Yadav who was sitting on the Treasury Bench along with Mr. Kumar.
However, Speaker Awadh Narayan Choudhary asked Mr. Ram to take his seat, being the first day of the Monsoon Session which usually begins with obituary messages. Within 10 minutes, the House was adjourned.
