Double murder in Bihar, but BJP, JD(U) vying for CM seat: Tejashwi

Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday criticized the leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United), alleging that they were “busy stealing seats for the CM seat” while a double murder was taking place in Araria.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader was referring to the crime that took place during the day due to a parking dispute within Forbesganj police station limits. “This is the terrible situation in Bihar; in Forbesganj, Araria area, a man slit the throat of another man in the middle of the market and walked around with his head among hundreds of people. Later, the family of the deceased tracked down the murderer and killed him. Instead of maintaining law and order, the police were seen struggling to save their own lives,” he said in X.

Mr Yadav said the incident showed “how completely law and order has been flouted” in Bihar. “What could be the bigger picture of this grand mess of a regime? While incidents of loot, murder, crime and rape continue to escalate every day in Bihar, the ruling BJP-JD(U) leaders are caught up in the game of musical chairs for the ‘CM seat’,” he said.
