Live telecast of question hour in Bihar legislative Council soon

The live telecast of the one-hour question session of the Bihar legislative Council on TV would soon become a reality. CM Nitish Kumar on Thursday said the government has absolutely no problem with it. Like the state assembly, it can be done in the council also, he said.

Nitish, who was present in the council during zero hour, said that there might be some problem on Friday as question hours in both the assembly and the council start at the same time on that day. This could be sorted out, he said.

Earlier, RJD member Badshah Prasad Azad raised the issue regarding the live telecast of council proceedings on the pattern of the assembly.

Acting chairman Arun Kumar said that the proposal regarding the live telecast of the council was rejected earlier. “Now, the proposal has been sent again,” he said. On July 2, raising this point, Mundrika Singh Yadav (RJD) had said that while question hour proceedings of the state assembly was being telecast live on TV channels, the same was not being done in case of the council.

Ghulam Gaus and Ram Bachan Rai (both RJD) supported Yadav for bringing the matter to the notice of the acting chairman of the council. Kumari Jyoti, Congress, too said that equality should be maintained on this front. link
