In a blistering critique of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has declared that law and order has completely collapsed in Bihar, painting a grim picture of the state's security situation just months before the crucial 2025 assembly elections.
'Government in Deep Slumber'
Yadav didn't mince words while addressing the media, asserting that the NDA administration appears "least bothered" about the deteriorating security environment across the state. "The law and order situation has completely collapsed in Bihar," the opposition leader stated emphatically, suggesting that the ruling coalition seems to be in a "deep slumber" while citizens face growing security concerns.
Election Battle Lines Drawn
With the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections looming on the political horizon, Yadav's sharp criticism signals the beginning of what promises to be a fiercely contested electoral battle. The RJD, as the principal opposition party, is clearly positioning law and order as a central campaign issue, aiming to capitalize on public dissatisfaction with the current administration's governance record.
A Pattern of Criticism
This isn't the first time the former deputy chief minister has targeted the Nitish Kumar-led government over security matters. However, the timing and intensity of his latest remarks suggest a strategic escalation in political rhetoric as election preparations intensify.
The big question remains: Will these allegations resonate with Bihar's voters, or will the NDA government successfully counter these claims as political posturing? With months to go until the polls, the war of words is only expected to intensify as both sides gear up for one of India's most significant state elections.
