On Friday, chaos erupted in the Bihar assembly as opposition members staged a dramatic walkout. Their demand for a vote on a private member's bill concerning the state's amended reservation laws was turned down, leading to the protest.

The contentious bill, introduced by CPI (ML) Liberation MLA Ajit Kumar Singh, faced stiff resistance from the ruling alliance. Speaking to reporters, RJD MLA Bhai Virendra criticized the Speaker's decision to deny a vote, accusing him of acting under the state's influence.

Further tensions arose as Bhai Virendra claimed that the BJP opposes reservations for underprivileged groups, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar supporting them for political gains. The assembly session, lasting five days, saw the passage of seven bills amid this controversy, including measures to prevent exam malpractices.
