"Tired CM, retired officials are governing Bihar": Tejashwi Yadav slams Nitish Kumar government

Patna (Bihar) [India], June 6 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, accusing it of failing on law and order and allowing the health system to collapse.
Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, "Criminals are on the loose in Bihar. Many incidents are constantly coming to light and the police seem helpless. The government is also sleeping, and it seems as if they have nothing to do with anything.., rape happens and the Deputy CM makes promises, this is the situation. This is maha-jungle raj."
He also criticised the state's health infrastructure, particularly the conditions at AIIMS Patna and PMCH. "If you go to the hospital, then there is no action taken against the corrupt officials. Now also, you can see there is work in action to protect Dr. I.S. Thakur. Why? I only ask one question: that retired official who was granted an extension as soon as our government collapsed. Is there no one more eligible to manage PMCH?" he asked.
Yadav expressed concern over what he described as a worsening situation at AIIMS Patna. "No one gets bed. Yesterday I went to AIIMS, and the state of the healthcare is deteriorating. There is so much disorganisation in AIIMS. Kin of patients were resting on the roads. Patients are not getting beds. People were requesting me to help them get a bed. This is the situation, these mafias in the Bihar government and the central government, those who should cater to the pain of common people, are busy inflicting more pain," he said.
He also questioned Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's ability to govern. "The CM is in an unconscious state of mind and is now incapable of staying on his post. He has become forgetful, unable to recognise MLAs, MPs, or even Cabinet members by face or name," Yadav alleged.
"CM is in the age I don't want to comment on him. But this is about 13-14 crore people of Bihar, and these 13-14 crore people are in the hands of those who are unsecured. Tired CM and retired officials are the ones governing Bihar," he added.
On the matter of reservation, the RJD leader reaffirmed his party's stand. "From the start, we are on the side of the reservation. The matter is in court, and we took part in protests earlier. If the need arises, we will fight again," he said. (ANI)
