"Clap your hands and clap your cheek. A total of 1,15,216 cases of crime were reported in the last year of the RJD government in Bihar in 2004, while after 15 years in the Nitish government, the total crime figures in the year 2019 increased to 2,69,096, more than double. Crime doubles yet Good Governance rule?" asked the RJD leader (roughly translated from Hindi).
Since the murder of IndiGo airlines manager Rupesh Kumar Singh by unidentified bike-borne men in the Punaichak area of Patna on January 12, RJD has been targeting the Bihar government for increased crime in the state.
On January 16, the Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav had said that Bihar is becoming the crime capital of the country and those sitting in power in the State are protecting the criminals.
