Mounting a fierce attack on Bihar’s coalition Government, the BJP on Friday sought to revive the memory of the Lalu era’s “jungle raj”.
Several people, including journalists, have been killed and a temple priest beheaded since RJD-JD(U) combine came to power, said BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra.
He also cited cases of sexual assault against women, loot, and the death of six people in Chhapra after drinking spurious liquor. “Disorder is spreading in the state at a fast pace. It will not be an exaggeration to say that ‘jungle raj’ returns to Bihar,” Patra said.
Patra claimed that the BJP’s presence in the state government earlier worked as a restraining influence on crime even though the party did not have home or excise departments.
