Union Minister for Consumer Affairs Ram Vilas Paswan today charged that Bihar was now passing through a 'jungle raj' and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should resign.

"The voters in Bihar have by now realised their mistakes by choosing the present government in power," Paswan, on a two-day visit to the islands told PTI here.

He alleged that the "deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar" indicated that the state was passing through "jungle raj" and the Chief Minister should have resigned.

In a dig at Kumar, the LJP leader said the Chief Minister did not have any right to speak about good governance "as murders are taking place in broad day light".
