Chirag Paswan Attacks Nitish Kumar-led Government
Hours after the incident, Union Minister and NDA ally Chirag Paswan hit out at the Nitish Kumar-led BJP-JDU government, saying that Bihar's law and order situation has become a cause for concern.
Paswan took to X and said, "Law and order in Bihar has become a serious concern today. Murders are happening every day, and the morale of criminals is sky-high. The functioning of the police and administration is beyond comprehension.."
"The incident of criminals openly firing inside Paras Hospital, located in a residential area of Patna today, is proof that criminals are now directly challenging the law and administration. The rising criminal cases just before the Bihar Legislative Election are worrisome. It is hoped that the administration will soon take concrete and strict steps to bring law and order back on track," he added.
