As soon as the proceedings of the House began, BJP MLAs entered the well and raised slogans against the government, accusing it of not handling the communal clashes effectively. Leader of Opposition, Vijay Kumar Sinha, also accused the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, of targetting people belonging to a particular community in the name of handling communal clashes.

Amid the chaos, Speaker Awadh Bihari Chaudhary, allowed state Parliamentry Affairs Minister, Vijay Kumar Choudhary, to make a statement on the issue. BJP members went back to their seats. However, BJP's Jibesh Kumar Mishra once again entered the well of the House and started shouting slogans against the government. Finally, Mishra was marshaled out for his alleged unruly behaviour.

The allegations and counter allegations turned sour with both sides accusing each other over communal clashes in several parts of the state during Ramnavami celebrations. The Speaker adjourned the house till 2 pm.
