Expressing concern over spurt in crime ever since the Grand Secular Alliance government came to power with a thumping majority two months back, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan on Sunday claimed that Bihar was firmly in the grip of 'jungle raj-2' and threatened statewide agitation by his Lok Janshakti Party.
"Bihar is firmly in the grip of 'jungle raj-2' given spate in crime comprising, murder, loot, dacoity and extortion in the past two months...the people of Bihar are living in an atmosphere of constant fear," he told reporters.
Paswan said his party (LJP) will take stock of the deteriorating law and order situation tonight after returning from his parliamentary constituency, Hajipur, and chalk out programme for statewide agitation on law and order issue.
The date of agitation and its nature will be decided in due course of time, the Union Minister said.
Expressing grief at the prevailing 'lawlessness' in Bihar, he said he was at a loss for words to describe the situation and asked the mediapersons to coin a new phrase to define the prevailing situation in Bihar.
