Tejashwi, who is being projected as Grand Alliance’s chief ministerial candidate, also shared the posters on his social media account ‘X’. Tejashwi didn’t forget to attach the crime data on his social media account to buttress his point on law and order, which has been the USP of the NDA government in Bihar. RJD’s posters attracted sharp reactions from ruling alliance partners—JD(U) and BJP. A senior JD(U) leader and spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that it sounded absurd when Tejashwi attacked Nitish Kumar-led NDA government on law-and-order issue. “It seems that he has forgotten RJD rule when people were living under constant threat and fear,” he added. Neeraj claimed that 118 incidents of massacres, 66,249 murders, 12,827 rape and 5,243 kidnapping for ransom took place during Lalu Prasad’s regime. “It sounds strange when RJD demands Bharat Ratna for a leader who had once become synonymous with ‘jungle raj’ for its poor law and order situation,” JD(U) MLC added. He also reminded the recent statement of Lalu’s brother in-law Subhash Yadav who alleged that ransom for the release of affluent captives was finalised after the intervention of Lalu Prasad at the chief minister’s official residence. Numerous businessmen migrated to other states out of fear of abduction, he asserted. BJP also echoed similar statements on the issue and said that RJD has no moral right to attack the NDA government, which has been performing exceptionally well. “RJD has no moral right to attack NDA at least on law-and-order issue,” said BJP leader Rakesh Kumar.
