Starting the discussion during the day, senior JMM leader Stephen Marandi claimed that hatred towards JMM president Shibu Soren's family was the reason that the Hemant Soren government had to go.

Hemant, the executive president of the JMM, is the son of Shibu Soren.

Hitting out at the BJP, he alleged, “Constitutional institutions are being misused in the country.”

BJP legislator CP Singh raised the issue of slogan shouting during the address of the Governor in the House on Monday.

The House also saw an uproarious scene following the statement of Congress legislator Dipika Pandey Singh, who accused the BJP of insulting the constitution, tribal, Dalit and women of the country.

To protest against this, BJP legislators trooped to the well of the House and sought an apology from the Congress MLA. They later staged a walkout.
