As the RJD MLA started his speech, BJP member Kumar Shailenda passed some remarks against Sada.
Terming the comment as highly objectionable, all opposition members entered the well of the House and demanded an apology from the treasury bench member.
Despite repeated assurance by Deputy Speaker Maheshwar Hazari that the unparliamentary words have been expunged, Mahagathbandhan members kept on demanding unconditional apology from the treasury bench MLA.
RJD legislator Kumar Sarvjeet said, "The foul language used by the BJP members against a Dalit MLA shows their mindset. The saffron party is anti-Dalit."
The opposition members staged a walkout of the legislative assembly.
The budgetary proposal of the department was passed by voice vote.
