On Monday, the opposition BJP in Bihar created a ruckus in the state assembly, demanding the resignation of Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, against whom the CBI has filed a charge sheet in the land for jobs scam.

No sooner had the House assembled on the inaugural day of the monsoon session, BJP chief whip Janak Ram rose in his seat and demanded the resignation of Yadav, who sat quietly in the treasury benches alongside his boss, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Proceedings for the day were adjourned minutes later, after obituary references, but the opposition party made it clear that it would keep pressing the issue. We did not press the matter today in view of the solemnity of the occasion. But during the rest of the session, we will force the government to come clean on corruption”, Leader of the Opposition Vijay Kumar Sinha told reporters outside the House.
