LoP Gandhi slams CM Nitish; calls Bihar crime capital of India

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacks Bihar's governance, calls state crime capital and criticizes Nitish Kumar's political instability

"Bihar, the land of truth, justice and non-violence, is today becoming the 'Crime Capital' of India. - Rahul Gandhi"

Patna, June 6

In a fiery address at the Constitution Security Conference held at the International Convention Centre in Rajgir, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on both the Central and Bihar governments, accusing them of allowing lawlessness to prevail and undermining the Constitution.

Speaking from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's home turf of Nalanda, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said on Friday, "Bihar, the land of truth, justice and non-violence, is today becoming the 'Crime Capital' of India."

The Congress MP lamented the breakdown in law and order, alleging that the public in Bihar now feels unsafe and stated that "Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi are responsible for this situation."

"The law and order here is in shambles. Basic facilities like education, employment, and healthcare remain out of reach of the common people," Rahul Gandhi said.

Targeting PM Modi, LoP Gandhi said, "Attempts are being made to spread hatred and fear in the country. But the Congress will not let this conspiracy succeed. We began 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' for this reason, and we are not backing down."

He also ridiculed CM Nitish Kumar's frequent political flip-flops.

"The Chief Minister keeps changing sides -- sometimes here, sometimes there. The people of Bihar have now understood that real issues are being sidelined," he said.

Positioning himself as a defender of constitutional values, LoP Gandhi warned against attacks on social justice and democracy.

"We will not let the Constitution be destroyed. This country will run on the Constitution drafted by Baba Saheb Ambedkar, not on the instructions of two or three capitalists," Rahul Gandhi said.

He urged the youth of Bihar to unite in defence of democracy and constitutional values, calling the present struggle a fight against hatred and violence.

"Together we will move the country forward on the path of justice and brotherhood," he said.

This was LoP Gandhi's first public event in Nalanda, making it politically symbolic given CM Nitish Kumar's stronghold in the region.

The event saw significant participation from Congress workers and local residents.

Finally someone speaking truth about Bihar's condition! As someone with relatives in Patna, I can confirm the law & order situation is terrible. Nitish Kumar has failed completely - first with Lalu ji and now with BJP. Time for fresh leadership! 🇮🇳

While crime is indeed a concern, calling Bihar "crime capital" is too harsh. Many states have worse statistics. Rahul Gandhi should focus on constructive solutions rather than just criticism. Our youth need jobs, not political drama 🙏

Interesting that he chose Nalanda for this speech! Smart political move to challenge Nitish on his home turf. But will Congress actually do anything different if they come to power? We've heard these promises before...

As a Bihari, I feel both angry and sad reading this. Our state has so much potential but politicians keep failing us. Education system is collapsing while criminals roam free. When will our leaders stop playing musical chairs with alliances? 😔

The constitutional values argument is important, but why only target Bihar? Many BJP-ruled states have worse crime rates. Selective criticism reduces credibility. All parties must work together for better governance.

My cousin left Bihar last year because her daughter couldn't go to school safely. This isn't just politics - it's about real people's lives. Hope this speech leads to some action, not just headlines. #BiharNeedsChange
