Uproar in Bihar Assembly Over Alleged Insult to Ram Vilas Paswan

The Bihar Assembly saw chaos as the Lok Janshakti Party (RV) accused the RJD of insulting former Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan. Meanwhile, the opposition party demanded an increase in quotas for deprived castes. The tensions led to an adjournment of the House proceedings by Speaker Prem Kumar.

The Bihar Assembly descended into disorder on Monday as the Lok Janshakti Party (RV), a junior partner in the ruling NDA coalition, accused the RJD of disrespecting the late Ram Vilas Paswan, a former Union minister.

The opposition party, however, focused on demanding an increase in quotas for deprived castes to 85 percent. Speaker Prem Kumar ultimately adjourned the session until 2 pm after attempts to calm the situation failed.

LJP(RV) officials demanded an apology over a remark made by RJD's Bodh Gaya MLA Kumar Sarvajeet. The ongoing turmoil highlighted underlying tensions over caste-related issues in the political landscape.
