Alleging a deteriorating in the law and order situation in Bihar, Leader of Opposition in the State Assembly Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday (October 16, 2024) said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was no longer capable of running the State.

He was speaking to the press at the Circuit House in Banka on the first day of the second phase of the ‘Karyakarta Darshan Sah Samvad Karyakram Yatra’, which has now been revised following the announcement of election for Jharkhand Assembly and bypolls for 4 seats in Bihar.

Mr. Yadav alleged incidents of murder, loot, and rape has increased manifold in Bihar and police were hesitating in lodging FIRs.

“If there is FIR in the case, the investigation is null and the victims’ family are denied justice and the accused are not punished. So the law and order situation in the State is deteriorating every passing day. I personally respect Chief Minister Nitish Kumar but sorry to say that he is no longer capable of running Bihar, his days are over now. Bureaucracy has become so powerful that they are not listening to the people’s representative,” Mr. Yadav said.

The second phase of the Yatra has been revised in view of the Assembly election in Jharkhand and byelection for four Assembly constituencies in Bihar.

While the programmes scheduled for October 18 to 26 has been postponed, the programmes for Wednesday (October 16) in Banka and Thursday (October 17) in Jamui remained unchanged.

Mr. Yadav was scheduled to visit Khagaria on Friday (October 18), followed by Begusarai, Lakhisarai, Nawada, Nalanda, Jehanabad, Arwal, and conclude the second phase in Gaya on October 26. In the first phase of Yatra last month, Mr. Yadav visited Samastipur, Darbhanga, Madhubani and Muzaffarpur.
