Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Bihar Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has launched a fresh attack on the ruling NDA government alleging that mafia influence, corruption and administrative failures have become common in the state.
He said Bihar was facing serious problems in law and order, financial management and governance.
In a post on social media platform X on Wednesday, November 11, Tejashwi alleged that the state government was allowing criminal elements to establish their influence at different levels of administration.
Corruption and poor governance have become deep rooted problems for ordinary citizens as well as government institutions, he said.
“Mafia rule at every level. What could be more unfortunate than criminals killing policemen, police personnel killing innocent citizens to cover up their own lapses?” Tejashwi said in his post.
The RJD leader also questioned the functioning of police department and accused administration of not maintaining accountability. His remarks came in the midst of political slugfest between opposition and ruling NDA over incidents of crime and police action in Bihar.
Tejashwi hit out at Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, saying his inexperience, lack of administrative understanding and ineffective leadership had weakened the state government. He alleged that senior government officials were not taking Chief Minister seriously and there was no administrative control or accountability.
Tejashwi also alleged that the government was not paying attention to important public issues like employment, education, health, public welfare and improving people’s living conditions. These issues should be given more attention by state leadership rather than pushed aside.
The RJD leader further alleged that industrial development, infrastructure projects, technological progress, investment and employment generation had been sidelined under the present NDA government. He said there was no direction in the state’s development priorities.
He also questioned Bihar’s finances saying corruption had crossed the acceptable limit and governance was virtually collapsed. Tejashwi asked how the NDA put Samrat Choudhary in the Chief Minister’s chair when he was not capable of administration and added that arrangement did not work.
The opposition leader also accused the ruling alliance of having gained power through “vote theft”. These were part of his wider attack on the ruling alliance.
The latest comments come in the context of political confrontation between RJD and NDA government in Bihar. Law and order has been a major issue here with opposition leaders repeatedly raising questions over government’s response to criminal incidents and police accountability.
The allegations made by Tejashwi Yadav are part of the RJD’s criticism of the performance of the ruling government but they are still political claims of the opposition leader and not independently found out findings.
The controversy will therefore keep governance, public safety, corruption and development at the centre of Bihar’s political discourse as opposition keeps demanding more accountability from state government.
