The honeymoon of Bihar’s NDA government appears over, with RJD firebrand Tejashwi Yadav unleashing a blistering critique on the state’s collapsing security apparatus. On February 25 in Patna, the young leader proclaimed an era of criminal dominance, holding Chief Minister Nitish Kumar directly accountable.
In a candid media interaction, Yadav lamented, ‘Law and order in Bihar is nonexistent—criminals grow bolder by the day.’ He detailed a horrifying pattern: routine killings, sexual assaults, and brazen firings that expose governmental paralysis. ‘Two Deputy CMs, yet zero accountability. The state has surrendered to lawlessness,’ he charged.
Yadav didn’t spare Nitish Kumar, mocking his weakened condition as the root of administrative blindness. With the Home portfolio ceded to BJP allies, the CM remains oblivious to ground realities, according to the opposition stalwart.
Dismissing tall claims of crime eradication by NDA partners, Yadav called for introspection. He waved off Amit Shah’s regional tour as a Bengal-centric ploy, disconnected from Bihar’s turmoil.
This verbal salvo comes amid mounting public frustration with frequent high-profile crimes, positioning Tejashwi as a vocal champion for restoration of order. As Bihar inches toward electoral battles, such confrontations could reshape the political landscape, forcing the ruling alliance to defend its record on public safety.
