MNS fallout in Bihar Assembly

Earlier, the Budget Session began on a stormy note with Opposition members protesting against the Governor8217;s address. Members of the opposition RJD raised slogans of 8220;Governor go back8221; and demanded the resignation of the Nitish Kumar Government for failing on all fronts. A CPI-ML Liberation legislator read out a parallel speech and urged the members to reject the Governor8217;s speech as it was a 8220;bundle of lies8221;.

Some TV news channels later claimed that one of the slogans called Gavai a 8220;Marathi Governor8221;. But the RJD leaders strongly refuted having raised such slogans. 8220;It is baseless. No RJD or any other Opposition member has raised such a slogan. We were only protesting against the Governor8217;s address to the joint session,8221; RJD national general secretary Shyam Rajak said.

Responding to queries outside the Assembly, the Governor termed the incidents in Maharashtra unfortunate and said it should be stopped.

Governor lauded the efforts of the Nitish Kumar Government to accelerate growth in the state and counted 29 new schemes.
