The session began with the Presidents address, followed by discussions in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. Today, the nation is buzzing about the speeches delivered by key opposition leaders, particularly Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, and Manoj Jha, a prominent RJD leader known for his fiery oratory.Manoj Jha takes on Nitish government over reservationManoj Jha, during his address, targeted the Nitish Kumar government over the reservation issue. He highlighted the efforts of Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav in conducting a caste census in Bihar, which faced opposition from the Solicitor General in court. Jha argued that while the government claims to protect the underprivileged, Bihar is demanding that reservations, based on the survey, be included in the 9th Schedule. He urged the government to appeal to the Supreme Court following the Patna High Courts decision. If the government fails to act, Jha vowed that the RJD would take the matter to court.Watch the video here:बढे हुए आरक्षण को बचाने के लिए राष्ट्रीय जनता दल लड़ रही है।अगर सरकार इसको चैलेंज नहीं करेगी तो राजद सुप्रीम कोर्ट जाएगी, हम इंतजार कर रहे हैं। pic.twitter.com/s3bWlgrzUy— Kanchana Yadav (@Kanchanyadav000) July 1, 2024More trust on Phuleras Gram PradhanIn his Rajya Sabha address, Manoj Jha raised concerns about the Election Commissions credibility.
