"People are not safe": RJD MP Misa Bharti on law and order situation in Bihar

Patna (Bihar) [India], November 3 : Ahead of the by-elections in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Misa Bharti on Sunday raised concern over the deteriorating law and order situation in state and called on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to ensure proper enforcement of law as people are not safe in the state.
RJD MP Misa Bharti said, "We have always raised our voice against the law and order situation in the state at present. People walking on the streets are shot. The Chief Minister is also the Home Minister and he should ensure proper enforcement of law and order. People are not safe in the state."
She further said that whenever the opposition asks questions concerning law and order the state government starts talking about what happened 20 years ago.
"They should talk about what is happening today. During the 90s under CM Lalu Prasad Yadav, 5 Universities were built in Bihar. When Lalu Prasad Yadav was Railway minister then three factories were built in Bihar. For the last 20 years, there has been NDA rule. How many factories have they built in Bihar?" she added.
Earlier Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday lashed out at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government for troubling people over various issues, highlighting problems related to electricity bills and pre-paid meters.
He also said that the law and order situation has collapsed as the criminals have become fractious.
"People have made up their mind that they have to teach a lesson to the current National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government. People have been troubled - from the electricity bill, and pre-paid meters to land surveys. They are fed up now. You can see that crime has increased day by day. Today, we listed 110 murder incidents. The criminals are celebrating, while law and order have collapsed. The government has failed and the criminals have become fractious, out of control. Incidents (of crime) are increasing constantly," Tejashwi Yadav said.
Ahead of the by-elections in Bihar, the former Deputy Chief Minister said that his party would go to the people and ask for votes in favour of their grand alliance.
"We will go among the people and ask for voters in favour of Mahagathbandhan. We are confident and sure that we will win all four seats in the by-elections," he said.
The Election Commission of India (ECI) had announced bypolls to four assembly constituencies in Bihar's Belaganj, Imamganj, Tarari, and Ramgarh. The by-elections are scheduled be to held on November 13 and the results will be announced on November 23.
