The speaker later adjourned the proceedings of the house till 2:00 p.m. during pre lunch sitting.

 

As the house had assembled for the day the leader of the opposition in the state assembly Vijay Kumar Sinha tried to draw the attention of the speaker towards some issues but in the mean time Satyadev RAM of CPI ML raised a point of order regarding Senate’s meeting of Jaiprakash Narayan Chhapra University of which some MLAs were also members.
