After attending the Bihar Legislative Assembly proceedings, Tejashwi Yadav criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the ruling NDA, accusing them of driving Bihar into prolonged poverty despite being in power for over two decades. He highlighted Bihar’s continued status as one of the most backward states in the country even after 21 years of NDA rule. Tejashwi alleged that corruption has severely impacted the state treasury, potentially leading to difficulties in paying employees’ salaries.
The opposition leader claimed that Bihar, under the NDA government, has become the poorest state in the country, excelling in unemployment, migration, and poverty while lacking in investment, per capita income, education, health, and sports. He further accused the government of witnessing a surge in crime, corruption, bureaucratic dominance, and misgovernance over the past two decades. Tejashwi criticized the current Bihar budget as lacking direction and failing to address the state’s critical issues with concrete solutions.
Tejashwi Yadav also criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership, pointing out administrative inaction in the face of rising crime rates. He expressed concern over the daily occurrences of murder, rape, and gang rape, emphasizing the lack of accountability and effective action by the government. Whenever these issues are raised in the Assembly, Tejashwi noted a pattern of unsatisfactory responses from the government, relying on what he termed as ‘old excuses’. Reiterating allegations of widespread corruption, he warned that continued financial mismanagement could lead to a crisis where the state struggles to meet essential obligations, including paying employee salaries.
Former Chief Minister Rabri Devi and RJD General Secretary Ran Vijay Sahu echoed similar sentiments, expressing concerns about the state treasury heading towards bankruptcy.
