'Powerless' in Bihar Assembly

During the monsoon session of the Bihar Legislative Assembly that ended last week, the building plunged into darkness a few times, thanks to power failure, providing members an opportunity to aim barbs at each other. During one such spell of darkness, when a debate was going on, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nand Kishore Yadav shouted from the Opposition benches: "Bijendra babu, pranam (Mr Bijendra, accept my salutation)!" Nand Kishore Yadav was referring to state Energy Minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav. Usually a good speaker, that time round, Bijendra Prasad Yadav was at a loss for words. A Rashtriya Janata Party leader later said the power minister must have been feeling quite "powerless".

Watch your tongue

A Bihar Assembly member of the Janata Dal (United) from Gopalpur in Bihar warned his political rivals not to insult the party workers. Addressing a public gathering on Sunday, Gopal Mandal said he would chop off people's tongues if they criticised his party workers. Barely six months ago, Idris Ali, a Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha member from West Bengal, had courted controversy when he threatened to "tear out the tongue" and "chop off the limbs" of a Left party leader. Last year, when political circles in Tamil Nadu were abuzz with conjecture that Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was unwell, a minister from her party said he would cut off the tongue of anyone, who talked about her health.
