The opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc in Bihar on Wednesday (July 17) said that it will organise a state-wide agitation over the alleged deterioration in the law and order situation. The announcement was made at a joint press conference of the alliance partners.
“The law and order situation has completely collapsed in the state. Every day, Bihar is witnessing cases of murder, kidnapping, extortion, rape, etc. Why is Chief Minister Nitish Kumar maintaining a silence on the current situation?”, RJD’s state party chief Jagadanand Singh said.
“We will organise a protest march on July 20 (Saturday) across the state against rising crimes in Bihar. This issue will also be raised in the assembly during the upcoming monsoon session,” Singh said.
