'Feels Sad I Support This Govt': Chirag Paswan Slams NDA Ally Nitish Kumar on Rising Crime, Oppn Says 'Resign Then'

BIHAR, JUL 26 – Chirag Paswan says daily crimes including murder, kidnapping, and gang rape show Bihar government's failure to maintain law and order ahead of state elections.

  • In Patna on July 26, Union Minister Chirag Paswan criticized the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government for failing to control rising crime.
  • Amid reports of violent crimes across Bihar, a spate of murders in Patna, Saran and Muzaffarpur and the alleged ambulance gang-rape in Bodh Gaya set the stage for his criticism.
  • Amid daily crime reports, Paswan said, terming the situation `scary` and blaming both incompetence and connivance for the administrative failure.
  • Within hours of his criticism, alliance partners reacted strongly, Neeraj Kumar said `If someone's soul is suffering and restless, they are free to go wherever they find peace.`, while Jitan Ram Manjhi branded Paswan `politically immature`.
  • With assembly elections due later this year, Paswan has declared he will contest the state polls, and his criticism is expected to bolster the RJD-led opposition's campaign.
