Patna: As the special session of Bihar assembly after formation of Mahagathbandhan government begins here on Wednesday, Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha (BJP) rejected the no-confidence motion notice against him.

Talking to mediapersons in the chamber, Sinha said the assembly secretariat had forwarded the notice given by the RJD legislators on August 10 but he found it against the rules of business. There are personal accusations too. Since the notice was not in accordance of the Constitutional provisions he has rejected the same.
