‘Nitish sets free those with AK-47': Tejashwi on shooting incident outside his Patna residence
Hitting out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the people of the state were not safe alleging a 'crimnal disorder' of the law and order situation and 'anarchy' in Bihar.
Patna (Bihar) : RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday lashed out at the Nitish Kumar-led state government over the law and order situation in the state after an incident of firing was reported near his residence in Patna.
Speaking to mediapersons here, the RJD leader said, 'There is a complete rule of criminals in place now. There is no government. Anarchy has set in in the administration and government. Shooting is taking place outside my residence in a VVIP area, it had never happened before.'
Taking a jab at the Nitish Kumar government, Yadav said, 'Nobody is safe in Bihar. There is a criminal disorder of the law and order in Bihar. Nitish ji forms laws and sets free those with AK-47. He supports criminals.'
'Criminals have become fearless in Bihar, and I am a former Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, there are residences of the Development Commissioner, many ministers near my residence. Still, such incidents are happening. This is very serious… If the most secure area of the state is not safe and they cannot catch the criminals then Bihar CM Nitish Kumar should resign,' said Yadav.
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bihar tomorrow on June 20, Tejashwi Yadav hit out at the centre and claimed that the morale of the criminals was high in the 'demonic rule' of the NDA.
'In the demonic rule of NDA, the morale of the criminals protected by the government is so high that in the high security zone, at a short distance from the Governor's residence Raj Bhawan, Chief Minister's residence, Leader of the Opposition's residence, Judge's residence and the airport, the dreaded criminals are roaming around openly firing. Beware! What if someone calls it Jungle Raj? Anyway, the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar tomorrow, so the Godi media has to maintain a positive image,' posted Yadav on X.
Earlier in the day, Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar to do 'politics of hatred' and should be ashamed to come to the state due to unfulfilled promises.
'If PM Modi listens to his 200 speeches that he has given so far in Bihar, he will be ashamed to come to Bihar. He made hundreds of promises, he will be ashamed of what to say to the people of Bihar… He is not coming to Bihar to provide employment, reduce inflation, eliminate poverty, but just to do the politics of Hindu-Muslim, the politics of hatred,' Yadav told ANI earlier today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bihar tomorrow (June 20), where he is scheduled to address a public gathering in the Siwan district of the state. Earlier, as Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha urged people to attend the event in large numbers, he said that PM Modi will highlight the resolution for 'Viksit Bihar' and give a message for 'freedom from nepotism.'
Regarding nepotism, the RJD leader claimed that while the BJP criticises others of family-politics, half of the ministers in the state cabinet are dynasts, while also repeating his claim of NDA being a 'National Daamaad Aayog.
'They keep abusing us about family politics, but their alliance is filled with dynastic politicians, and the same thing is true even in their party (BJP). In Bihar, over 50 per cent of the ministers are dynasts… NDA in Bihar means 'National Daamaad Aayog'. PM Modi has fitted everyone's son-in-law in the 'Aayog',' the RJD leader said.
