United colour of 1st day, 1st show in J'khand House

NOT only the sixth Jharkhand Assembly is different in many ways from the previous ones, but also newly elected MLAs reached the House in different styles on the first day of the special session on Monday—some were seen coming barefoot, some bowed head before entering the House, while many of them took oath in their regional language.

Jairam Mahto of Jharkhand Loktantrik Kranti Morcha (JKLM), who reached the House barefoot, bowed his head on the frame of the door before entering the Assembly. Jairam has been elected MLA for the first time from Dumri seat.

On the reason behind entering the House barefoot, Jairam said, "I am a farmer's son and just like a farm is for a farmer, Vidhan Sabha is for me. When we go to the farm, we go barefoot, therefore I have reached the House barefoot as well."
