The second day of the Jharkhand Assembly session remained noisy as the BJP created ruckus over the law and order issue whereas the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), the Congress,  the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Left protested against Manipur violence. Amid the chaos, the first supplementary Budget of ₹11,988 crore for 2023-2024 was tabled in the Assembly. 

Finance Minister Rameshwar Oraon tabled the Budget in which Energy department was proposed the maximum outlay of ₹7,033 crore, followed by the Urban Development and Housing department at ₹927.49 crore, the Rural Development department ₹574.29 crore, the Women Child Development and Social Security department ₹333.56 crore, the Home, Prison and Disaster Management department got ₹587 crore.  The Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Cooperative Department is proposed to get ₹180 crore. The rest of the amount was proposed for loan and interest. 

Before the proceedings began, BJP legislators rushed to the well, shouting slogans against the Hemant Soren government over the alleged deteriorating law and order. The BJP demanded a debate on the law and order issue. However, JMM, Congress and RJD legislators demanded a debate over Manipur violence.
