Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, returned to the House after a hiatus and launched a scathing attack on the Nitish government. He accused the government of failing to maintain law and order in Bihar, citing a surge in crimes like extortion, murder, and rape. Tejashwi expressed concern that criminals seem emboldened under government protection while citizens live in fear.
Tejashwi targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, criticizing him for what he perceives as a lack of control over the state’s situation. He alleged that Nitish Kumar, by delegating the Home Department to the BJP, has become a puppet under their influence. Tejashwi further claimed that instead of addressing criminal activities, the government is intimidating opposition leaders and providing shelter to offenders.
Tejashwi also raised issues through social media, highlighting administrative insensitivity following the tragic death of a student who was denied entry to an examination center in Patna. He demanded compensation for the student’s family and urged the government to show leniency towards students arriving slightly late for exams. The incident has stirred emotions across Bihar, leading to discussions on examination management and administrative responsiveness.
