Bihar Govt Patronising Criminals, Law and Order Has Collapsed: Tejashwi Yadav

Patna: RJD national working president Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday attacked the NDA government in Bihar, alleging that the state's law and order had "completely collapsed" and accused the government of patronising criminals. Yadav, who is Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, also alleged that the government is least bothered about incidents of murder, rape, molestation or other crimes happening every single day in the state. Addressing a press conference here, he said, “Bihar’s law and order situation has completely collapsed. The state government has miserably failed in checking it. NDA leaders are patronising criminals”. Those who are at the helm of affairs in the state are maintaining a stoic silence about the crimes, Yadav claimed. Raising the alleged abduction and murder of 25-year-old Bunty Yadav in Patna, Yadav demanded a government job for the victim's wife. He handed over a cheque of Rs 5 lakh to the family for the education of the deceased's two children up to Class 12 and urged the state government to ensure their further education. On July 6, Bunty Yadav was allegedly abducted from the high-traffic Karbigahiya/Patna Junction area. Although Yadav's family immediately alerted the authorities, it was alleged that the police failed to take prompt and effective action. Five days after the abduction, Yadav's body was recovered from the Athmalgola region. The RJD national working president also demanded action against the Siwan district SP and DM over the alleged use of an AK-47 rifle during the July 25 student protest in the district.
