NDA serves notice for House speaker’s removal day after Nitish rejoins alliance

Hindustan Times  

Bihar’s ruling National Democratic Alliance on Monday served a notice for assembly speaker Awadh Bihari Choudhary’s removal as the process for electing the new presiding officer began a day after Nitish Kumar was sworn in as the chief minister after rejoining the Bharatiya Janata Party -led alliance. It is as per procedure,” said BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav, a former minister who is expected to replace Choudhary. In August 2022, Vijay Kumar Sinha, who was on Sunday sworn in as a deputy chief minister, resigned as the speaker after Kumar quit the NDA and formed the government with Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Congress, and the Left parties. In his speech before stepping down, Sinha said he would have resigned the day the new government was formed but was not given the opportunity after the notice of his removal was served ignoring rules, provisions, and parliamentary decorum.
