PATNA: Bihar Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha, who faces a no-confidence motion by members of the 'Mahagathbandhan' led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on Monday delivered an emotional speech at a function on Vidhan Sabha premises on the occasion of Independence Day. Sinha, a senior BJP leader who had shown reluctance to resign and is likely to be voted out on August 24, read out from a written text which sounded like a veritable farewell speech.
In the speech that ran into seven pages, Sinha made many references to the "twenty months" for which he has been holding the post and his attempts at making the legislative process more vibrant.
