Patna cricket tournament firing: Tejashwi slams Nitish govt over law and order situation

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slams Bihar govt's law and order after violent incident at cricket event

"The government cannot catch a mouse, how will it catch criminals? - Tejashwi Yadav"

Patna, May 22

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Nitish government after firing during a cricket tournament prize distribution event in Patna.

Three individuals sustained gunshot injuries in this firing incident and were admitted to Patna AIIMS on Wednesday night.

Allegations have surfaced against rebel Congress MLA Siddharth from Bikram and two others, fuelling political tensions.

Tejashwi said, "The government cannot catch a mouse, how will it catch criminals? There is complete dominance of crime in Bihar. Police hooliganism is at its peak, and no one is there to hold them accountable."

He accused the state police of harassing innocent citizens while allowing actual criminals to roam free.

"Women are being mistreated and innocent people are being called to the police station and beaten, while criminals remain untouched," he said.

"Nitish Kumar is in an unconscious state. The condition of Bihar today is extremely bad," Tejashwi said.

In a renewed political challenge, Tejashwi once again called out Health Minister Mangal Pandey over the "deteriorating" condition of Bihar's health sector.

"I am ready for a debate anytime, anywhere. Just inform me a day in advance. Mangal Pandey doesn't even speak in the temple of democracy - the Vidhan Sabha. What debate will he do?" Tejashwi said.

Tejashwi launched a scathing attack on Mangal Pandey, criticising the "deteriorating" condition of the state's healthcare system following a shocking incident where a patient's hand was gnawed by rats in Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, the second-largest government-run hospital in Patna.

Awadesh Prasad, a disabled person from Nalanda, was admitted to the NMCH on Saturday and underwent surgery. Prasad's fingers were bitten by rats post-surgery when he was sleeping on the hospital bed.

Tejashwi's statement comes amid ongoing criticism from the opposition on "poor" healthcare infrastructure and law enforcement in the state.

This is absolutely shameful! First rats biting patients, now open firing at cricket matches. What's happening to our Bihar? Nitish Kumar used to be called 'Sushasan Babu' but now it's complete 'Gunda Raj' 😡 When will our leaders focus on governance instead of politics?

While Tejashwi is right to point out these issues, let's not forget his party's history too. The RJD era wasn't exactly crime-free. Instead of blame games, all parties should work together to improve law and order. Bihar deserves better!

Cricket tournament mein firing? Seriously? This shows how criminals have become fearless. Police should take immediate action, not wait for political statements. Common people are suffering while politicians score points. #BiharCrisis

The rat incident in hospital was horrifying enough, now this? As a Bihari living outside the state, it pains me to see such news. Investment and development will never come unless basic law and order is fixed first.

Tejashwi's language is too harsh, but can't deny the facts. When patients are getting bitten by rats and criminals are firing openly, it shows complete system failure. Time for administration to wake up and take action, not just give excuses.

Why is everything becoming political? Three people got shot and all leaders care about is blaming each other. First help the victims, catch the culprits, then do your politics. Basic humanity seems to be missing 🙏
