Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s recent remarks about the escalating crime rate in Bihar have drawn sharp reactions from the ruling Janata Dal (United) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal. Paswan stated his disappointment in supporting a government where lawlessness prevails. JDU MLC Neeraj Kumar criticized Paswan for not raising the issue within the central cabinet, instead opting for public statements. RJD MP Manoj Jha accused Paswan of inconsistency and demanded a fact-finding team to assess the situation, questioning why Bihar is not receiving the same attention as Bengal. Congress leader Sukhdev Bhagat commented on Paswan’s delayed realization of the issues with law and order.
