Bihar Assembly Session: JD(U) MLA Vibha Devi struggles to read oath

Patna (Bihar) [India], December 2 : Janata Dal (United)'s newly elected MLA Vibha Devi faced trouble reading her oath during the first session of the Bihar Vidhan Sabha after the Assembly elections.
Vibha Devi, wife of former MLA and strongman Raj Ballabh Yadav, was seen asking a fellow MLA to dictate the oath to her on Monday.
Devi became an MLA from Nawada constituency after defeating Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) Kaushal Yadav by a margin of 27,594 votes.
The first session of the newly elected Bihar Legislative Assembly began on Monday, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, along with newly elected MLAs, arriving to participate in the important session.
Ahead of the session, the newly elected MLAs expressed their commitment to work for the welfare of the people of Bihar and the constituencies they were elected from.
JD(U) MLA-elect Vinay Kumar Chaudhary emphasised the party's commitment to public welfare in his remarks. "We work for the public and will continue to do so," he said, reflecting the party's focus on serving the people of Bihar.
Vishnu Deo Paswan, newly elected MLA from LJP (Ram Vilas), shared his vision for Bihar's youth. "I want to work on creating employment opportunities so that the youth of Bihar do not have to migrate.
