BJP corners Nitish govt. for deteriorating law and order situation in the state

After a journalist lodged a complaint against a Janata Dal United (JD(U) MLC Hira Vind post receiving death threats, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday said that criminals and false forces in Bihar are becoming powerful under the rule of grand alliance government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Union Minister Giriraj Singh drew flaks at incumbent Bihar dispensation and said that Kumar at the time of polls promised a fear-free Bihar but now the situation is totally contrary.

"Ever since this government was formed in the state, the law and order situation is continually deteriorating in Bihar. The criminals and the false forces are becoming powerful in the state," said Singh.

"Nitish Kumar at the time of elections promised a fear-free Bihar but now the whole state is enveloped in fear. The representatives of the fourth pillar of Democracy the media are not safe then it's obvious that the common is feeling unsafe in the state," he added.

Singh further criticised Nitish government and said, "The situation is such that a boy gets shot for over taking and the situation worsens when journalists get murdered and receive life threats. And the surprising factor is this that such incidents are being reported from the area of the Chief Minister and when questioned he act oblivious."

Rajesh Singh, a journalist with a daily, yesterday lodged an FIR at the Laheri police station against a Janta Dal United (JD-U) MLC Hira Vind after receiving death threats.

The journalist alleged that four Bind supporters entered his office at Biharsharif and threatened to kill him.

The reports come seven days after when Ranjan, a journalist with Hindi daily Hindustan was shot dead by criminals near the Siwan railway station.
