Political crisis in Bihar: BJP MLAs protest against Speaker

19 Feb 2015 Evaluate

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs staged a protest against Bihar Assembly Speaker Uday Narayan Chaudhary over his 'unethical and unconstitutional' move to declare the Janata Dal (United) as the main opposition party. BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav said that the BJP's doubts have been proved true. They had yesterday stated that the assembly office is functioning like the JD (U) office and this is the first time in history that the JD (U) will sit both in the opposition and government. This is unethical and unconstitutional.

The BJP had earlier today stated that its central leadership would study the ongoing political crisis in Bihar and very soon announce its decision about supporting Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi on the floor of the state assembly.

JD (U) chief Sharad Yadav had suspended seven ministers loyal to Manjhi from the party, claiming that they have not followed the party's directive. Manjhi, however, remains confident of gaining the vote of confidence in the assembly, ahead of the floor test tomorrow.
