The Opposition BJP has chalked out a strategy to corner Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during the Monsoon Session of Bihar Legislature starting from July 10.
The most important issue the BJP has decided to raise in both Houses is the chargesheet against Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav in the land-for-jobs case. The BJP will demand the sacking of Mr. Yadav from Cabinet.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had on July 3 filed a fresh chargesheet against Mr. Yadav, his father and former Railways Minister Lalu Prasad, mother and former CM Rabri Devi, and others in connection with the case.
Since the filing of the chargesheet, BJP leaders have been demanding Mr. Yadav’s resignation. However, his father had categorically said neither he nor his family members were afraid of cases lodged against them.
“The CBI has filed a chargesheet against Tejashwi Yadav, how can he remain in the post of Deputy CM? We will demand his resignation or his sacking from the Cabinet. We will raise this issue in both Houses and will not sit quiet until he resigns,” BJP Bihar president Samrat Choudhary told The Hindu.
Mr. Choudhary who is the Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council further said that the BJP will also raise the issue of 10 lakh jobs promised by the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government.
Other contentious issues would be the removal of domicile norms for teacher recruitment, collapse of bridges and tensions within the Education Department. Corruption and crime would be other issues on which the Opposition will attack the government during the short session which will last for five days.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
