RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday questioned the rationale behind holding the Home department review meeting by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, in which the Director General of Police and Chief Secretary “were not present”.
Yadav, former deputy chief minister, who is currently the Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly, also said the “absence of aforesaid officials showed how serious” the CM was with regard to law and order.
He also alleged that the NDA government was patronising criminals in the state.
“Holding of a high-level review meeting by the CM was mere a formality. It’s a fact that after every review meeting of Nitish ji, crime increases further in the state..officials and criminals also know the reality of such meetings. The officers also know that when pressure of the opposition increases on the state government, the CM suddenly calls such meetings … .which is mere a formality”, wrote Yadav.
During a review meeting of the Home department on Saturday, the CM emphasised that the rule of law is “top priority” for the NDA government.
“In fact, the RJD leader is upset with the decline in crimes related to land disputes and the recruitment drive initiated by the CM. The RJD, which always promotes jungelraj in the state, is the party of land mafias and criminals”, said the JD (U) spokesperson.
