Patna, March 4 (NationPress) During the Budget Session of Bihar Assembly, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav launched a fierce attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the state government's performance.
He described the administration as ineffective, asserting, "The government is a wreck, the system is useless, the CM is tired, and the common man is wandering around helpless."
Yadav accused CM Nitish Kumar of evading current issues by dwelling on events from two decades ago, thereby shirking responsibility for the state's ongoing challenges.
He also condemned the Governor's address, calling it repetitive and suggesting that it included achievements from previous administrations to enhance the current government's reputation.
Pointing out infrastructure deficiencies, Yadav highlighted the regular collapse of bridges and culverts in Bihar, questioning the quality and supervision of such projects.
He mocked the administration's excuses, sarcastically attributing the loss of 9 lakh litres of alcohol to rats, thereby casting doubt on the Bihar government's credibility.
In a poetic critique, Yadav remarked on the government's fixation with past records, implying that they are stuck in outdated achievements and have not made significant advancements since 2005.
He emphasized that before 2005, there were six medical colleges still catering to 90 percent of the population, and numerous houses and vendor markets were established for the impoverished during Lalu Prasad Yadav's tenure, suggesting that the current administration has not significantly built upon these foundations.
Yadav challenged CM Nitish Kumar to engage in fact-based discussions, asserting that former leaders, including Lalu Prasad Yadav, did not blame their predecessors but concentrated on their own governance.
He noted that from 1961 to 1990, Bihar faced political instability with frequent leadership changes and imposition of President's Rule, obstructing development.
However, post-1990, under Lalu Prasad Yadav's leadership, there were no communal riots, and efforts were made to empower Backward Classes and Dalits by appointing them as MLCs and ministers.
This exchange highlights the escalating political tensions in Bihar as the state approaches its upcoming Assembly elections at the end of this year, with leaders like Tejashwi Yadav actively challenging the incumbent government's record and narrative.
