Bihar’s assembly opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav turned up the heat on the NDA government Friday, branding their 21-year rule a disaster that plunged the state into unprecedented poverty and joblessness. From the assembly floor to media interactions, Yadav spared no one, especially CM Nitish Kumar, whose health he mocked as the root of administrative paralysis.
‘Endless crimes—murders, rapes, robberies—and zero action from an insensate leader,’ Yadav fumed. He rattled off Bihar’s shameful rankings: poorest per capita income, highest unemployment and migration rates, negligible factory investments, and dismal performance in education, healthcare, and sports.
The financial picture is bleak, with corruption emptying treasuries and looming salary crises for employees, according to Yadav. ’21 years of NDA misrule bred only crime, bribery, tyranny, and red-tapism,’ he said.
Government tactics? Evasion and diversion, claims the RJD chief. ‘We raise valid concerns on security; they stay mum.’ This follows persistent queries ignored in the house.
Yadav’s broadside signals intensifying pre-election battles, as Bihar grapples with systemic woes that the opposition vows to spotlight until change arrives.
