Pandemonium in Bihar Assembly as BJP MLAs demand Tejashwi’s resignation

The Bihar Assembly witnessed unruly scenes on July 11 as the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs demanded the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister and ruling Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav as the CBI recently named him in a chargesheet filed in connection with a land-for-jobs scam

The BJP MLAs trooped into the well of the House, raising slogans demanding Mr. Yadav resignation. They also lifted chairs over their heads and also banged on the table. Amid the continued bedlam, Speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary adjourned the House till 2 p.m. “Your behaviour is a blot on the history of this august House”, he told the protesting BJP MLAs before adjourning the House till lunch. After lunch, the pandemonium continued and the House was adjourned till July 12.
