BJP MLA Vijay Kumar Sinha was on Wednesday elected as Speaker of the Bihar assembly by a majority vote.
Sinha, who was the candidate of the ruling NDA, got 126 votes as against 114 polled in favour of RJDs Awadh Bihari Chaudhary who was fielded by the opposition Grand Alliance.
The voting was marred by rumpus caused by opposition members who protested presence of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on the bottom of the House on the ground that he was a member of the legislature .
The chair, however, overruled the objection saying being leader of the house the chief minister’s presence is legitimate.
The opposition also demanded voting by vote which was turned down by pro tem Speaker Jitan Ram Manjhi who went ahead with headcount after dissatisfaction was raised by the opposition over voice vote.
Later, the chief minister, Deputy Chief Ministers- Tar Kishor Prasad and Renu Devi- and opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav escorted Sinha to the Speaker’s chair.
