Glorious past remembered by Shri Narendra Modi of Bihar Vidhan Sabha
PM mentioned the glorious history of Bihar Sabha during the closing ceremony of the Cenetary celebration. Before independence, Governor Satyendra Prasanna Sinha had appealed from this assembly to encourage indigenous industries and the adoption of Swadesi Charkha. After independence, the Zamindari Abolition Act was passed in this assembly. The Prime Minister continued 'the Amrit Mahotsav of Azadi and this historic occasion of 100 years of Bihar Legislative Assembly has also brought a message of introspection and self analysis for all of us, for every public representatives. The more we strengthen our democracy, the more strength we will get for our freedom and our rights'.
The Prime Minister underlined the ancient roots of Indian democracy and said "for decades, attempts had been made to tell us that India got democracy due to foreign rule and foreign thinking. But when any person says this, he tries to cover up the history of Bihar and the heritage of Bihar. When large parts of the world were taking their first step towards civilization and culture, a sophisticated democracy was operating in Vaishali. When the understanding of democratic rights was beginning to develop in other regions of the world, republics like Lichchavi and Vajjisangh were at their peak."
History of Bihar Vidhan Sabha (Bihar Legislative Assembly)
During the rule of the East India company, the area of Bihar was a part of the Bengal Presidency. On 12th December 1911 the British Emperor George V announced in his Delhi Durbar, the creation of a separate province by combining Bihar and Orissa (Present day Odisha), with Patna as it's headquarter. In the same Durbar, the headquarters of the British Indian Gevernment was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi. On 22nd March 1912 the creation of Bihar and Orissa state was notified and Sir Charles Stuwart Bailey became the first Lieutenant Governor of the State/ For legislative authority of this newly created province, a 43 member provinvial Legislative Council was constituted. The first meeting of the newly constituted Bihar and Orissa Provincial legislative Council was held on 20th January 1913 in Patna. this the same council, which after many changes and modifications in strength and constitution, now exists as the Bihar Legislative Assembly.
At this time, the need for an independent and secretariat for the Provincial Legislative Council started to be felt. As a result a new building for the Council Secretariat was built in 1920 and the Council started functioning from the same building, which is the main building of Bihar Legislative today.
