The opposition, led by Rabri Devi, protested outside the Bihar Legislative Council, criticizing the government for a surge in crimes like murder, rape, and molestation. Rabri Devi expressed concern over the deteriorating situation in Bihar, condemning the government for not addressing the rising crime rates effectively.
She vowed to continue the opposition’s fight both on the streets and within the House, accusing the government of trying to stifle dissent. Rabri Devi emphasized that despite threats, women in Bihar would not be silenced and would persist in speaking out against injustices.
During the demonstration, Rabri Devi highlighted a recent incident related to a student’s suicide due to being late for an exam. She demanded strict action against those responsible and questioned the strict rules barring students from taking exams for minor delays.
The political tension escalated within the Council over the issue of liquor prohibition. RJD’s Sunil Kumar accused the government of turning a blind eye to widespread availability of alcohol despite the ban. He alleged that even ministers and MLAs from the ruling party consumed alcohol openly, hinting at a parallel liquor economy within the state.
