Former Agriculture Minister and RJD MLA Sudhakar Singh
The winter session of the Bihar Legislature is starting from Tuesday, 13 December. There will be a meeting of five days in this. But the session is going to be the most interesting in the sense that this time the ruling party is going to be cornered by an MLA from the ruling party itself. He has also been the Agriculture Minister in Bihar Government and is the son of RJD State President Jagdanand Singh. My name is Sudhakar Singh.
Sudhakar Singh is a part of the Grand Alliance government, but as Agriculture Minister, he had created a political ruckus by saying ‘my department is full of thieves and I am a government of thieves’. Can a minister remain on the post after fighting with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, otherwise Sudhakar Singh also had to resign from the post. But after resigning, Sudhakar did not remain silent. He gave a statement that- Some people think that the way to heaven is through the prime minister’s chair.
Everyone knows on whom he had made this sarcasm. Now Sudhakar Singh is bringing a private member’s bill regarding the Mandi Act. After 44 years in the history of Bihar Legislative Assembly, any MLA is showing the courage to bring a private member’s bill. That too from the ruling party. This winter session of Bihar Legislative Assembly is going to be recorded in history in this sense.
Sudhakar’s draft has been given to the Legislative Assembly
It is awaited whether the Speaker of the Vidhansabha, Avadh Bihari Chowdhary, will proceed with the proceedings on the private member’s bill. If positive action is not taken on this, then it is quite possible that Sudhakar Singh will go on strike. The provision for bringing a private member’s bill is that the MLA himself has to give the complete outline of the bill. Sudhakar has prepared it and given it to the Legislative Assembly. He has named it- ‘Agriculture Produce and Animal Marketing and Mandi Establishment Law’.

Dainik Bhaskar has information that in this bill Sudhakar Singh every 9-10 km. But it has been said that arrangements for the market should be made for the farmers. For this, it has been said to arrange better modern infrastructure. He has also focused on the small agriculture market. To operate it, the appointment of personnel to officers has been mentioned. The emphasis is on electronic trading platforms. There has been talk of strict monitoring of the purchase of food grains in the mandis only on the MSP fixed by the central government. There is also a matter of fine for breaking the rule of MSP. There will be better modern arrangement of measurement and weighing. The government will give subsidy to those who want to set up private agriculture market. There is also talk of forming a monitoring committee etc. to ensure that private market yards cannot act arbitrarily.
may also raise other issues
Sudhakar Singh is the MLA of RJD and if he surrounds the government of his own Grand Alliance then the scene will be different. Sudhakar Singh Winter session can also raise many other issues. They can raise the issue of electricity getting to the farmers. Sudhakar does not tell in the conversation which question he is going to raise. But when he expresses his displeasure on electricity in the middle of the conversation, it seems that this issue may also be in his priority. Sudhakar believes that Bihar government buys and sells the most expensive electricity! It is also how much facility the farmers are getting from the Suvidha portal in getting electricity connection.
Can sit on strike anywhere!
It seems from the conversation of Sudhakar Singh that he wants to raise the issue of the youth along with the farmers. Sudhakar Singh can express his fierce anger on the question of jobs etc. of farmers and youth in a Gandhian way. If their demands are not met, they can come to the Well or protest outside the Chamber of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
