Shashank Sekhar Bhokta today wondered how issues brought up by the opposition to disrupt the House keep changing as the opposition today raised din over the case of horse trading of 2012 Rajya Sabha elections, demanding special investigation team to look into it.
"Your issues are changing always," Bhokta said when the opposition members picked up a new issue today to disrupt the House, which witnessed two adjournments and Finance Minister Rajendra Prasad Singh tabling the budget amid the din.
The opposition BJP had yesterday disrupted almost the entire day demanding a reply from Chief Minister Hemant Soren as to what led him to dismiss his rural development minister Chandra Sekhar Dubey.
As soon as the session resumed today, the BJP members trooped to the Well, raised slogans, this time demanding the government announce a special investigation team on the alleged case of horse trading during 2012 Rajya Sabha polls.
Some members branded a newspaper report that published that some MLAs of JMM had allegedly taken bribe during the 2012 RS polls while senior BJP MLA Raghuvar Das demanded that the Speaker direct the government for SIT probe into it.
The speaker turned down the demand saying the matter was with the CBI.
