Bihar Opposition demands CBI probe into CAG findings

PTI | April 4, 2012



Opposition RJD-LJP MLAs on Wednesday created an uproar in the Bihar Assembly demanding CBI probe into non-reconciliation of Abstract Contingent (AC) bills with Detailed Contingent (DC) bills worth Rs 22,575.37 crore, as reported by the CAG.

After holding demonstration outside the assembly holding posters and banners, agitated RJD-LJP members entered the premises and trooped into the well of the house shouting anti-government slogans disrupting the proceedings of the house before the lunch recess.

They demanded that a CBI probe be ordered for non-submission of DC bills with respect to withdrawals of 22,575.37 crores through AC bills in Bihar as highlighted by the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) for the period ending March 31, 2011.

Earlier they stood in their seats before trooping into the well when the speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary took up the question hour.

The opposition members continued shouting slogans in the well in support of the demand.

The speaker refused to take up the adjournment notice by senior RJD MLA Samrat Choudhary but assured the agitated members of looking into the adjournment notice at an appropriate time.

In the meantime, parliamentary affairs minister Bijendra Prasad Yadav intervened and ridiculed the opposition members for raising the demand of CBI probe on Wednesday when the CAG report was tabled in the house on Tuesday.
