Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government, saying he is saddened to support a government that is unable to curb murders, kidnappings, loot, robbery, and rape.

Paswan further lashed out at the Nitish government in Bihar, saying that the way crime is happening in Bihar, it seems as if the administration is completely incapable of stopping these incidents.

"I feel sad that I am supporting such a government here... The way murders, kidnappings, looting, robbery, rapes have taken place one after the other in Bihar, and now it seems as if the administration is completely incapable of stopping these incidents. If it continues like this, then it will create a very frightening situation in our state,” Paswan said.

Paswan's remark came after a 26-year-old woman participating in a Home Guard recruitment test on July 24 in Gaya was allegedly gang-raped inside an ambulance while being taken to a hospital after she collapsed during a physical test.

The LJP (Ram Vilas) president, part of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), said that it seems the Bihar government has "completely bowed down" in front of criminals, referencing a retired health department official being shot at by unknown assailants in Gaya district. 

He said that if such incidents aren’t curtailed, then it will create a frightening situation in the state.

"The way there have been criminal incidents one after another, and the way the government has bowed its head down in front of criminals. It is true that the incident is as condemnable as it is embarrassing, and an arrest also happened. But why are such incidents like murder, loot, dacoity, rape, one after another, happening in Bihar? It looks like the government is totally unsuccessful in curtailing these incidents. If this keeps going on, then it will create a very frightening situation in our state," Paswan said.

Earlier this month, Chirag attacked the Nitish-led state government over the law and order situation, saying that “the morale of the criminals were at its highest in the state.

"In Biharsharif, Nalanda, criminals brutally murdered 16-year-old Himanshu Paswan and 20-year-old Anu Kumar by shooting them. This incident is extremely unfortunate and condemnable. This heinous event not only shakes humanity but also shows that law and order in Bihar have completely collapsed. Crime in the state is at its peak, and the fact that such an incident was carried out by criminals in the home district of the honourable Chief Minister clearly indicates that the morale of criminals is at its highest," Paswan said in a post on X.
