Amidst the Boycott Budged Session Started in Jharkhand Assembly

Budged session began in Jharkhand Assembly with Governor Draupadi Murmu's speech to the state legislature on Monday.

Amidst the boycott and slogan shouting by the opposition parties the governor completed her address to the assembly.

Jharkhand Vikas Morcha (Prajatantrik) legislator Pradeep Yadav raised few issues when Murmu started her address. The leader of opposition party JMM and former chief minister Hemant Soren also boycotted the governor's address. There is 14 percent reservation for OBC in government jobs and in educational institutions in Jharkhand. Thus, Pradeep Yadav was against the governor’s speech which does not talk about the welfare of about 15 percent minorities and there was no mention of the 27 percent reservation to other backward castes in the state.

Further, the JMM President Hemant Soren criticized the BJP government for shielding Dhullu Mahto, who is accused of seeking extortion from a Russian company. Governor’s speech did not mention any help to the farmer added Soren.

Moreover, urban development minister of Jharkhand, CP Singh called it a stunt to remain in news headlines.
