Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD National Working President, has criticized the state government for the increasing law and order issues, citing a significant surge in crime over the past two decades. Referring to recent statements by Nishant Kumar, Tejashwi pointed out a substantial rise in crime in Bihar between 2005 and 2025. Drawing on data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), he highlighted the prevalence of organized crime and hooliganism, expressing deep concern over the situation.
Tejashwi, during a media interaction in Patna, emphasized that he had presented detailed statistics on the matter in the state Legislative Assembly. He also criticized the Samrat Chaudhary Model, dismissing it as not resonating with the public. Tejashwi underscored the challenges faced by the people, including poverty, unemployment, and inflation, leading to growing disillusionment with the current administration.
The RJD leader raised the issue of farmers’ distress following recent hailstorms and storms, noting severe crop damage and the government’s alleged failure to provide timely assistance. Tejashwi disclosed that he had written to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, urging swift compensation for affected farmers. When asked about Nishant Kumar’s future in the Janata Dal (United), Tejashwi declined to comment, considering it an internal party matter.
Tejashwi’s statements indicate a mounting political confrontation in Bihar, with opposition figures intensifying their critique of the government. He concluded by asserting that the people of Bihar are living in a climate of fear and distress, impacted by rising crime and corruption. Tejashwi vowed that his party, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, will persistently address public concerns, both on the streets and within the legislature, until the issues are resolved.
