Opposition parties drew the lines of conflict on the eve of Parliament’s Budget session on Sunday, asking the government at an all-party meeting to allow discussion of a slew of contentious issues, including the Uttar Pradesh government’s order to eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route and exam paper leaks, including the prestigious NEET.
The five-day Monsoon session of Bihar assembly, which begins on Monday, is expected to be turbulent as the RJD-led grand alliance prepares to corner the state government on a variety of issues, including alleged rising crime rates, corruption, bridge collapses, and the NEET-UG paper leak scandal.
During the assembly’s brief session, the first supplementary budget for fiscal year 2024-25 will be presented. The state government will also introduce a bill in the House aimed at preventing exam paper leaks.
Opposition strategy to corner
The opposition MLAs from RJD, Congress, CPI (ML), CPI, and CPI (M) have devised a strategy to corner the state administration on a variety of problems, including purported crime graphs, NEET paper leaks, bridge collapse occurrences, and suspected corruption in government offices. The opposition would also challenge the NDA over the grant of special category status to Bihar.
Senior BJP minister Neeraj Kumar Singh Bablu stated that the RJD has no right to comment on the matter of law and order given its own ‘dismal’ track record. RJD should be ashamed for preaching about law and order, he added.
Shankar Singh, a newly elected Independent MLA from Rupauli, has decided to back Bihar’s Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) administration as the state assembly’s monsoon session begins. Singh praised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for implementing a variety of steps for the state’s development. He also met Nitish at his official residence, 1, Anne Marg, in Patna, later.
Issues need to be dealt with
The opposition MLAs from the RJD, Congress, CPI (ML), CPI, and CPM have devised a strategy to corner the state on a variety of topics, including purported crime graphs, NEET paper leaks, bridge collapse occurrences, and suspected corruption in government agencies.
