BJP says crime on rise in Bihar, seeks Guv intervention

After a jeweller was shot dead in the state capital today, opposition BJP attacked the Nitish Kumar government on law and order situation in Bihar and said it will seek the intervention of Governor Ramnath Kovind into the issue.

“Under the dominance of numerically strong Lalu Prasad’s RJD, it appears that the Nitish Kumar government has lost the will to take on criminals,” BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said. “The fear of return of jungle raj has appeared to be true in Bihar as indicated by killing of two engineers in Darbhanga, gunning down of a jeweller in Patna today,” Sushil Modi said.
