The BJP on Tuesday took on the ruling RJD and the Congress in the Jharkhand Assembly claiming Lalu Prasad Yadav was no match for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
Opposing remarks of Yadav on Modi soon after the RJD chief came out of jail in Monday, BJP leader and former Speaker C P Singh claimed in the House that Lalu should know that there was no comparison between him and Modi. "Kahan Narendra Modi aur kahan Lalu ji (no match between the two)!, and he (Lalu) should understand this, Singh, who was speaking on the debate over supplementary budget, said.
Reacting to a ruling MLA s remark, Singh said, sitting in a glass house, don't throw stones at others. Taking a dig at the JMM/Congress/RJD ruling coalition, another BJP MLA and former agriculture minister Satyanan Batul Jha said, while Jharkhand government is entrenched in balu (sand auctioning issue), Congress is stuck in price rise of alu (potato) and RJD with Lalu.
Acting at the objection raised by Finance Minister and CLP leader Rajendra Prasad Singh to a separate remark by Jha against the Congress, Speaker Shashank Sekhar Bhokta asked to expunge the remark.
Hitting back at the BJP, Congress MLA Bana Gupta said, the BJP has ditched Lord Ram and switched over to NaMO Modi. Accusing Modi of building up support over statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to garner votes, Gupta said a noble person's contribution is judged, not by the height of a statue, but by his personality.
Earlier in the first half, the Speaker had to adjourn the house for half-an-hour after BJP MLAs, led by leader of opposition Arjun Munda, trooped into the well seeking a statement on the cabinet s decision to scrap auction of sand mining and restoring the rights of the minor mineral to panchayats.
