Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Union Minister Chirag Paswan Slams State Govt Over Crime Surge, Alleges Police-Criminal Nexus; VIDEO

Patna: Union minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Saturday accused the administration of having nexus with criminals and claimed that it was the reason outlaws had gone on a rampage and criminal incidents were taking place in Bihar without any restraint.

Talking to reporters in the state capital, Chirag alleged that money was changing hands at the police stations and that was the reason administration kept quiet even after a spree of criminal incidents. It was absolutely wrong, he added.

"When the Prime Minister is bringing gifts, his priorities are different. He is working with the vision of making Bihar a developed state. As far as law and order is concerned, everyone knows that it is a state government matter ... In such a case, it is not fair to say that the Prime Minister is not concerned. Given the way criminal incidents have increased in recent times, the way a murder took place by entering Paras Hospital, it cannot be justified. The reality is that if even a single incident happens, the administration will have to take responsibility. The ADG cannot say that such incidents happen before the rainy season. Are you accusing the farmers of this?... The state government will have to ensure that a sense of security is instilled in the people of Bihar,” he remarked.

Later, addressing 'Nav Sankalp Mahasabha' at the historic Polo Ground in Munger, Chirag expressed concern over the rising crime and deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar. “Such an environment has been created in the state that investors are scared to come here and do business. People have been scared that if they invest in Bihar, their lives could be in danger,” he claimed. Small girls are being raped and criminals are roaming freely, he alleged.

He said that some forces want to push Bihar into an atmosphere of fear once again. Until his 'Bihar First Bihari First' vision is not implemented, it will be difficult to curb crime, he contended.
