Bihar Assembly in chaos as opposition protests voter list revision for fifth day

Bihar Assembly's final monsoon session day witnessed disruption when opposition legislators from RJD, Congress, and leftist parties entered the House floor. These members shouted slogans and attempted to overturn furniture during Question Hour on Friday. Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav made multiple requests for order before adjourning proceedings. Opposition representatives wore black garments for their fifth consecutive day of demonstration against special voter list revision processes. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar observed their matching protest clothing and commented on the coordinated nature of their daily disruptions.

The five-day session experienced constant interruptions over voter registration concerns with minimal legislative progress achieved. Opposition parties claim the government collaborates with Election Commission officials to remove economically disadvantaged citizens from voting rolls before upcoming Assembly elections. Government officials deny these allegations while the Election Commission defends its Special Intensive Revision program. The controversy has reached Supreme Court levels with opposition groups challenging the revision methodology through legal channels.
