While Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was speaking on the Governor’s address, RJD MLAs walked out. On this, JDU MLC Neeraj Kumar said that the opposition only knows how to hit and run, now the opposition has stopped speaking. Instead of asking questions in the House, they are walking out. The Chairman told Asan that your question has been sent to all the departments. Tejashwi Yadav is already missing, location not available. Want to know on which planet Tejashwi is sitting among the nine planets?
‘Lantern in the dustbin of history’
During the discussion on the Governor’s address in the Bihar Assembly, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha fiercely targeted the opposition party RJD. Enumerating the achievements of the double engine government of CM Nitish Kumar and PM Modi, he said that domestic aviation facility is being started in 10 new cities in Bihar and industrial revolution is being brought with an investment of ₹ 1 lakh crore.
Sinha said that the poor have been taken out of the lantern era and now the lantern has gone into the dustbin of history. Taking a jibe at RJD, he said that earlier investors had stopped due to Jungle Raj, but now this fear has ended, hence 25 new sugar mills will be opened and 9 closed mills will be operationalized. On the objections of RJD MLA Bhai Virendra, he said that bulldozers will be used on the chests of sand and land mafias.
Tu-tu main-main between Nitish Kumar and brother Virendra
On the fourth day of the winter session of the Bihar Assembly, the atmosphere in the House suddenly heated up when a squabble broke out between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD MLA Bhai Virendra. This incident happened when CM Nitish was appealing for unanimously passing the motion of thanks on the Governor’s address.
Seeing the silence of the opposition, Nitish Kumar expressed his displeasure and said in a loud voice, “Why are you not doing it? Everyone is doing this… Why are you not doing it? Hey brother, it is beneficial for everyone!”
On this comment of CM, brother Virendra sitting from the opposition bench said something, after which Nitish Kumar turned directly towards him. He said in a harsh tone, “I kept you a little bit twice too… How much work you did! You used to agree to everything I said. Later, when you messed up, we left you. Now you will never go, it’s mine from earlier, you will stay there!”
Nitish Kumar did not stop here. He further said, “What all have we not done for you? Remember all the work that has been done. Tell us by raising your hands, everyone is supporting you, right?”
This altercation created a huge commotion in the House for a few moments. The ruling party started clapping, while the opposition was seen expressing dissatisfaction on their seats.
CM Nitish Kumar praised PM Modi
CM Nitish Kumar said that the Central Government has also contributed a lot in the development of Bihar. In the budget of July 2024, it was announced to give a huge amount as special financial assistance to Bihar for roads, industry, health, tourism, flood control. Then in the budget of February 2025, establishment of Makhana Board, airport in Bihar, financial assistance for Western Kosi Canal etc. have been announced. In the year 2018, Khelo India was organized in some states of the country. Now this year Khelo India Youth Game has been organized in Bihar. We salute Prime Minister Narendra Modi for all this. After saying this, CM Nitish pointed towards the opposition and said – ‘Everyone should bow down. Do it by raising your hands once. Have done all the work, are doing everything. When the opposition people did not raise their hands, the CM laughingly said – ‘Why don’t you people do it? You guys do it too. Working for everyone, in every way. How much it has increased sir.
As soon as the CM said this, brother Virendra from RJD raised objection, after which Speaker Prem Kumar asked him not to speak while sitting.
