Heated Exchange in Bihar Assembly Over Electoral Roll Revision

A heated exchange erupted in the Bihar Assembly on Wednesday as Chief Minister Nitish Kumar intervened during opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav's statement on the special intensive revision of electoral rolls. The situation quickly escalated, prompting Speaker Nand Kishor Yadav to adjourn the session until 2 pm, just 30 minutes after it had started.

The proceedings saw members from both sides engaging in a verbal confrontation, with the Speaker expressing displeasure over the use of unparliamentary language. Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, in protest attire, raised concerns about the timing and execution of the electoral roll revision by the Election Commission, questioning its effectiveness just months before elections.

The session further intensified as Chief Minister Kumar criticized the opposition's stance, leading to more discord. Despite the tensions, Yadav held a press conference to allege that the ruling party's conduct was politically motivated. The assembly scene underscores the volatile political dynamics in Bihar as the state prepares for upcoming elections.
