Tejashwi Yadavsaid Nitish Kumar's attitude towards the Assembly and the Speaker of the Assembly is an insult to democracy.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after the latter entered into a heated argument with Assembly Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha on Monday in the Legislative Assembly.
Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday said that the Chief Minister's attitude towards the Assembly and the Speaker of the Assembly is an insult to democracy. The behaviour is not expected from a person holding the post of Chief Minister of the state, he said.
"Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has done the work of killing democracy in the Assembly by dictating the custodian of the House (Speaker). Pointing fingers at the speaker and giving lessons about the Constitution is unacceptable. The Chief Minister should apologize in the House today," added the RJD leader.
Mr Yadav said, "I have witnessed such incidents only during the term of the BJP government. This is not a dictatorship but a democracy. If the leader of the state points a finger at the Custodian of the House, it is a shame and a failure to the assembly."
