Bihar politics heats up as Minister Dilip Jaiswal delivers a stern message to the opposition: stop turning a heartbroken family’s loss into election fodder. The demise of a college student in Patna has left the community in mourning, yet opposition leaders are already pointing fingers at the ruling NDA government.
Speaking candidly to reporters, Jaiswal dismissed the accusations as ‘cheap politics.’ He detailed the steps taken post-incident, from deploying a special investigation team to offering financial aid and counseling services to the grieving relatives. ‘We mourn with them, but let’s not make this a circus,’ the minister implored.
RJD’s aggressive stance, including road blockades and social media campaigns, has drawn sharp criticism from BJP allies. They argue that such tactics divert attention from genuine issues like enhancing hostel security and emergency response systems in universities.
Background checks reveal the student was pursuing engineering when the mishap struck during late-night studies. Eyewitness accounts suggest possible overcrowding and poor lighting as contributing factors, prompting calls for systemic overhaul.
Jaiswal concluded by vowing comprehensive audits of all state-run colleges. This confrontation highlights Bihar’s perennial tussle between governance and grandstanding, especially as public sentiment remains raw. Observers predict this could influence voter moods in upcoming polls, with the government banking on transparency to regain trust.
