At the Infra Built Expo in Gaya, JD(U) legislator Manorama Devi and Bihar's Agriculture Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha exchanged sharp remarks over a contractor‑related comment.
The Infra Built Expo, held in Gaya, Bihar, became the stage for a heated political exchange on Tuesday. JD(U) MLA Manorama Devi confronted Agriculture Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha after the minister made a remark referencing contractors. Both leaders used the platform to defend their respective positions, turning the trade exhibition into a brief arena of political sparring.
Manorama Devi, representing the Gaya constituency, challenged the minister's statement, suggesting it could undermine local contractors and the broader construction sector. In response, Vijay Kumar Sinha defended his comment as part of a larger discussion on regulatory oversight and quality control in agricultural projects.
The confrontation did not disrupt the expo's schedule, but it drew attention from attendees and local media, highlighting the ongoing tensions within the state's ruling coalition over development policies.
Observers noted that such public disagreements are rare at industry events, where officials typically focus on showcasing infrastructure initiatives. The incident underscores the sensitivity surrounding contractor-related issues in Bihar's growth agenda.
No further statements have been released by either party as of now, and the expo continues to showcase infrastructure solutions for the region.
