The winter session of both houses of Bihar Legislature beginning on Friday is likely to be stormy with the opposition gearing up to corner the state government on various issues especially law and order and the recent water-logging problem in the state capital.

The brief session ending on November 28 will have a total of five working days during which the Nitish Kumar government is scheduled to table second supplementary budget 2019-20 and some other legislations.

The JD(U), BJP and LJP constitute NDA government while RJD and Congress are the main opposition parties in both the state houses.

Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi are members of the legislative council. Rabri Devi is the opposition leader in the state's upper house.

Senior RJD leader and MLA Bhai Virendra said on Thursday "we will highlight the government's abject failure in controlling law and order which is evident from the steep rise in the incidence of crimes like loot, murder, rape,kidnapping especially against women."
Asked whether Tejashwi will be attending the House on all the five days, he said that "I can say that he will be definitely present in the House but can't say about the number of days he will be in the House because of assembly polls in Jharkhand. He is party's main campaigner in the absence of Lalu Prasad."
Senior Bihar Congress leader and MLC Prem Chandra Mishra said that "the issues of law and order, water logging in Patna and pollution badly gripping the capital city and other major towns of the state would be some of the issues that the Congress party will be raising during the session in the House."
