Opposition members suspended after ruckus in Bihar Council, evicted by marshals

Opposition members in Bihar Council suspended and evicted by marshals after disrupting proceedings over Chief Minister's resignation demand.

Marshals evicted Opposition members from the Bihar Legislative Council on Tuesday (February 10, 2026), following repeated warnings from the Chairman that they let the House run by going back to their seats, amid a ruckus.

Chairman Awadhesh Narain Singh also suspended the Opposition MLCs, most of them belonging to the RJD, for the day.

Trouble arose after the Opposition members rose in their seats, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over “rising” cases of crimes against women in the State.

Amid the bedlam, Minister Ashok Choudhary, who belongs to the JD(U) headed by the Chief Minister, was seen engaging in a heated exchange with RJD MLC Sunil Singh.

Soon afterwards, the Opposition MLCs stormed into the well, prompting BJP Minister Mangal Pandey to interject with the remark, “their behaviour makes it clear that they do not want to allow the House to run”.

The Chairman urged the unruly Opposition members to “take your seat, let the House run, or leave, at least for the day”.
