Tejashwi Yadav Criticises Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary over Remarks on Crime in State
Tejashwi Yadav said Samrat Choudhary’s claim on crime in Bihar ignores law-and-order concerns and questioned his record as chief minister.
On Tuesday, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary stated in New Delhi that while 'crime' may exist in the state, the concept of 'apraadh' has been eliminated.
Choudhary made the comments while signing a memorandum of understanding with the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, intending to highlight improved law and order under the BJP-led NDA.
Criticizing the remarks on X, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav questioned whether bureaucrats 'sitting on the stage feel honored or humiliated' working with a CM once named in a case 'related to the murder of seven people.'
Union Minister Chirag Paswan defended Choudhary's approach, stating as both Chief Minister and Home Minister, he must have 'facts and figures to back his claim' regarding state security.
This political row follows Tejashwi's broader attacks on Choudhary's appointment by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reflecting ongoing tensions regarding governance under the BJP-led NDA.
