Tejashwi Yadav Criticizes Bihar Government on Crime

Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of Opposition in Bihar, has sharply criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the rising crime rates and lawlessness in the state, citing numerous incidents of violence including gang rapes, murders, and attacks on police. He condemned the delayed response of law enforcement in serious cases, such as the gang-rape of a 13-year-old girl and the brutal murder of a minor Dalit girl in Muzaffarpur. Yadav accused the government of shielding criminals and being preoccupied with corruption, which has emboldened criminal activity across Bihar. Additionally, he challenged the BJP's stance on reservation policies, labeling them anti-Dalit and anti-reservation while demanding more protective measures for marginalized communities. His criticisms come on the heels of the Patna High Court's acquittal of former MLA Anant Singh, which he used to highlight perceived political favoritism in the legal system. As the situation continues to deteriorate, Yadav's calls for accountability reflect a growing discontent among the populace regarding governance in Bihar.
