The Bihar Legislative Assembly’s budget session turned into a battleground Monday as RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav unleashed a blistering critique of the state government’s functioning. Post-appropriation bill debate, he labeled the NDA regime as wholly unqualified for office.
Yadav decried the rejection of every opposition notice for attention motions—a first in assembly history and a sad day for democracy. Despite the Speaker’s privileges, systematically muffling dissent on people’s concerns undermines democratic norms, he asserted.
Development plans are nonexistent, according to Yadav. The budget was dispatched in a mere 11 minutes, with the finance minister offering a token reply today. He accused the government of withholding payments to contractors and staff, stalling bills across categories from crores to lakhs.
Law enforcement has collapsed, Yadav charged, with rampant killings signaling ‘law and order’ has morphed into outright disorder. The Chief Minister’s erratic actions and public demeanor reflect his poor health, while the BJP pulls strings from afar, jeopardizing Bihar’s interests profoundly.
This confrontation underscores escalating friction, with opposition gearing up for more confrontations in the session.
