Legislative Uproar: Scholarship and Paddy Procurement Crisis in Jharkhand

In Jharkhand, BJP legislators disrupted the assembly session over delayed student scholarships and paddy procurement, leading to an adjournment. The Speaker's calls for order were ignored as both opposition and ruling alliance members protested. Allegations of delayed funds and reduced quotas were tabled against the state and central governments.

On a disruptive Monday in the Jharkhand assembly, BJP legislators staged protests, focusing on the delay in scholarship distribution and the non-start of paddy procurement. Their actions prompted the Speaker to adjourn the session until midday.

The House convened at 11am, quickly unraveled into chaos as BJP members brought attention to critical issues affecting students and farmers. The Speaker's attempts to maintain order during Question Hour were overshadowed by rising grievances against the state government.

Allegations flew across the floor as Congress MLA Pradeep Yadav accused the Centre of withholding scholarship funds. Meanwhile, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Radhakrishna Kishore promised responses to opposition queries. Concerns over reduced OBC quotas under BJP's prior governance added fuel to the heated assembly.
