Patna: Crime rises as Nitish Kumar projects himself as a face for 2019 general elections. While Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is appealing to all anti-BJP political parties to form “a Bihar like alliance” to unseat the ruling party in 2019 elections, Bihar BJP is trying highlight the rising crime in Bihar, asking only one question “Is Jungle Raj back in Bihar?”
Under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s new term, observers say Bihar has become a classic case of chaos. They say that with crime graph rising dangerously, no investment has come to the state.
Mr Kumar had also provoked the Central government with his call for “Sangh Mukt” India.
After the resounding victory of JD(U)-led grand secular alliance in Bihar, Mr Kumar has started projecting himself as the next face for 2019 elections.
BJP leaders, however, are sceptical. “JD(U) is a regional party and every regional leader like him (Mr Kumar) wants to project himself for the post of prime minister. In UP, his party has no presence,” said BJP leader Sushil Kumar.
“In Bihar, law and order system has failed and today the situation is that about a dozen or more legislators have been booked in some case or the other”. The BJP’s Jungle Raj barb grew even stronger after Rocky’s Yadav’s case.
