Tejashwi Yadav Slams Nitish Kumar’s Inaction
Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav has strongly condemned the killing and criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his perceived silence and inaction on the escalating crime wave. “How many more lives must be lost before the government takes concrete steps to address this crisis?” Yadav questioned, accusing the administration of failing to maintain law and order.
