Bihar’s streets have become a battleground for emboldened criminals, thundered Tejashwi Yadav in Patna on February 25. The RJD heavyweight tore into Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, alleging a total breakdown in governance that empowers lawbreakers over law enforcers.
Addressing journalists, Yadav decried the ‘Godforsaken’ state of security, where daily headlines scream of homicides, assaults, and gunfire. ‘The government protects crooks instead of punishing them— that’s why anarchy prevails,’ he alleged, citing absent accountability from the two Deputy CMs.
He ridiculed Nitish’s physical decline as symptomatic of leadership decay, compounded by relinquishing Home affairs to BJP. This internal NDA shuffle, Yadav claimed, leaves the CM clueless about rampant disorder.
Those preaching crime-free Bihar must confront their failures, Yadav retorted, while brushing aside Amit Shah’s visit as election fodder for Bengal, irrelevant to local perils.
As crime statistics soar and public fear mounts, Yadav’s offensive rallies anti-incumbency sentiments. It underscores deepening rifts in Bihar’s polity, where opposition narratives of mismanagement challenge the ruling coalition’s stability ahead of pivotal political showdowns.
