“Chirag ji and Prashant ji have become one. I feel that Prashant ji should have already declared Chirag ji as the chief minister,” Pappu Yadav stated.“Prashant Kishore is a troubled souled and only a person from Dalit or EBC community can become CM. And Chirag ji, there as well as here, how will things work like this? I would suggest leave that side and come here,” he added.This comes after Chirag expressed anguish over the deteriorating regulation and order after a collection of disturbing crimes in Bihar.“I feel ashamed that I am supporting a government where crime has become uncontrolled,” Chirag stated.“The way crime is happening in Bihar, the administration has totally bowed down in front of the criminals. It is correct that this incident required condemnation, but why such incidents are happening? There is a series of crimes. If it continues like this, the situation would be frightening, rather, it has become so,” he added.Earlier, RJD chief Tejashwi Yadav additionally took a swipe at Chirag Paswan, accusing him of getting a “lust for power” and portraying himself powerless.“There’s complete criminal disorder; the concept of law and order has collapsed. Chirag Paswan is raising these issues, but he himself is part of the same government. He’s a powerful Union minister, and his party has 5 MPs. Then why is he acting so helpless?” Tejashwi requested.“On one hand, he is criticising his own government, and on the other, he’s portraying himself as powerless. If you really believe crime has surged in Bihar, if rapes are happening, if corruption is rampant—then why are you still in that alliance? Because you love your position. You’ve become so weak that despite being in power, you’re unable to act,” he added.Meanwhile, Chirag’s remarks have triggered sharp reactions from alliance companions, whereas the BJP has chosen to stay silent.Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) chief and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi responded swiftly, branding Chirag Paswan as “politically immature”. “Chirag’s politics is still in its infancy. His father, Ram Vilas Paswan, had a towering political stature. Chirag lacks experience and is speaking without full knowledge,” Manjhi stated.He additional countered Chirag Paswan’s claims on regulation and order, asserting that the present scenario is much better than pre-2005 Bihar.“At that time, criminals could walk into the CM’s residence with impunity. Negotiations over kidnapping were taking place from the CM residence before 2005. Today, there is accountability. No one can enter 1 Anne Marg, the residence of the Chief Minister now,” Manjhi added.
