    Both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned till 11 am on July 23 after major ruckus ensued in the Parliament over the Bihar voter list revision issue. Opposition MPs raised slogans against the Centre, and demanded a discussion regarding the issue.

    The opposition RJD in Bihar on Tuesday claimed that the resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was a conspiracy hatched by the BJP, aimed at “shunting” Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ahead of the assembly polls.

    However, the claim was summarily dismissed by state minister Shravan Kumar, a close aide of the state’s longest-serving CM who has been declared as the “face of the NDA” for the upcoming elections.

    “For long, the BJP has been wanting to get rid of Nitish Kumar and have its own chief minister. They have grown desperate ahead of the assembly polls, in which the NDA’s loss is certain,” claimed RJD’s chief whip in the assembly, Akhtarul Islam Shahin.

    Talking to PTI video, he claimed, “For long, senior BJP leaders have been speaking in favour of shunting Nitish Kumar. Former Union minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey once went to the extent of advocating that Nitish Kumar be made the deputy prime minister. So, it would not be wrong to conclude that Dhankhar’s resignation is a conspiracy by the BJP, aimed at shunting Nitish Kumar by giving him a politically insignificant post like that of the vice president.” (PTI)Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 2 pm amid continued uproar by Opposition parties.
