Begusarai firing: "Morale of criminals increasing in Bihar under Nitish Kumar govt," says Shahnawaz Hussain

Begusarai (Bihar) [India], September 14 : After two bike-borne miscreants shot at nine people, killing one in Bihar's Begusarai, former Union minister and BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain slammed Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's government for the law and order situation in the state.
On Tuesday night, the BJP leader visited the injured at Sadar Hospital.
Shahnawaz Hussain strongly attacked the Bihar government and said, "I was trying to set up industries in Begusarai but now bullets are being fired like terrorists in Punjab and Kashmir. So many people have been shot and injured. This is a big incident in Bihar. The morale of criminals is increasing in Bihar and people will not forgive those who boost the morale of criminals."

The BJP leader said these kind of incidents will defame the image of the state and asked the Bihar government which direction the state has been going.
"What will be the image of Bihar in the country? Nitish Kumar needs to check this situation," Hussain said.
