High-Stakes Drama in Jharkhand Assembly: Opposition MLAs Evicted Amid Protests

In a dramatic turn of events in Jharkhand, opposition BJP and AJSU Party MLAs were forcibly removed from the Assembly by marshals. The legislators staged a sit-in protest demanding Chief Minister Hemant Soren's reply on key issues. Despite CM Soren's attempts to pacify them, the MLAs remained resolute.

In a high-stakes drama inside the Jharkhand Assembly on Wednesday, opposition BJP and AJSU Party MLAs were forcibly evicted by marshals after they refused to leave the Well, demanding answers from Chief Minister Hemant Soren on key issues including employment.

The MLAs, despite a peaceful protest, had their lights and air-conditioning turned off while they occupied the Well. A BJP legislator claimed they were dragged out by marshals around 10 PM. The legislators promised to continue their sit-in at the assembly lobby throughout the night, raising slogans against the Soren government.

Chief Minister Soren met the protesting MLAs but could not convince them to end their protest. BJP chief whip Biranchi Narayan stated the party’s demands were placed before Soren, who promised a reply by Friday. However, the opposition insisted on a resolution by Thursday. The Speaker adjourned the House till 11 AM Thursday as the protest continued.
