The rise in crime incidents in Bihar has become a significant concern for the Nitish Kumar government. Opposition leaders have been highly critical of the current NDA government, highlighting the state’s growing law and order issues.

Earlier, Tejashwi Yadav, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Bihar Assembly, released crime statistics to highlight the worsening law and order situation in the state and criticized the government's handling of public safety.

Tejashwi Yadav criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, claiming that crime in Bihar has reached unprecedented levels and the CM, now elderly, is not able to govern effectively.

Yadav pinpointed CM Nitish Kumar's role as head of the Home Department, accusing him of failing to maintain law and order in the state.
