Bihar Assembly plunged into turmoil on Thursday after it was adjourned for 35 minutes during question-hour as MLAs of the opposition stormed into the well of the House demanding a CBI probe into alleged irregular and illegal allotment of lands by BIADA.
After shouting slogans in the portico of the assembly, RJD members entered the house as soon as it sat for the day and raised the issue of alleged Bihar Industrial Development Area Authority (BIADA) land scam.
RJD MLAs Raghvendra Pratap Singh and Samrat Choudhary wanted to know from the chair about the fate of the adjournment notice they submitted for a debate on the issue.
When speaker U N Choudhary asked them to raise the issue at an appropriate time and allow the question hour to continue, they trooped to the well.
They repeated yesterday’s scene in the well shouting anti-government slogans and demanded that the state government order a CBI probe.
The speaker, however, went ahead asking ministers to reply to the short-notice and starred-questions of the members in the house.
As the din continued, Mr. Choudhary adjourned the house till 1200 hrs.
When the house re-assembled, the speaker took up the zero hour and after that he asked the ministers to reply to the call-attention notices of the members.
The ministers carried forward replies to the call-attention notices forcing the RJD MLAs to stage a noisy walk-out of the house.
Later, talking to reporters, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said the state government had nothing to hide in this matter.
“I have asked the chief secretary to hold a review of the entire allotment process adopted by the BIADA and submit a report to me,” he said.
Mr. Kumar said he would be able to answer in details after he received the report.
Earlier, RJD members in the state legislative council created ruckus in the house asking the chairman T K Jha to admit their adjournment motion on yesterday’s attack on the house of party MP Uma Shankar Singh in Chapra in which three persons were killed.
As the din continued with RJD MLCs shouting slogans against the government and alleged deterioration in law and order in Bihar, Mr. Jha adjourned the house till after the lunch just within five minutes it sat for the day.
The chief minister said in the assembly that he had asked police officials to probe the case from all angles and find out who was the actual target.
The culprits would be brought to book without delay, he assured leader of the opposition in house Abdul Bari Siddiqui when he raised the issue.
Mr. Kumar said necessary security had already been provided to the RJD MP.
