"Criminals fearless in Bihar": Tejashwi Yadav lambasts Nitish Kumar govt on firing incident outside his residence
Patna (Bihar) [India], June 19 (ANI): RJD leader and former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday lashed out at the Nitish Kumar-led state government over the law and order situation in the state after an incident of firing was reported near his residence in Patna.
Hitting out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the people of the state were not safe alleging a 'crimnal disorder' of the law and order situation and 'anarchy' in Bihar.
Yadav said that the criminals in Bihar have become 'fearless' and demanded CM Nitish Kumar's resignation.
Speaking to mediapersons here, the RJD leader said, 'There is a complete rule of criminals in place now. There is no government. Anarchy has set in in the administration and government. Shooting is taking place outside my residence in a VVIP area, it had never happened before.'
Taking a jab at the Nitish Kumar government, Yadav said, 'Nobody is safe in Bihar. There is a criminal disorder of the law and order in Bihar. Nitish ji forms laws and sets free those with AK-47. He supports criminals.'
'Criminals have become fearless in Bihar, and I am a former Chief Minister, Leader of Opposition in the state assembly, there are residences of the Development Commissioner, many ministers near my residence. Still, such incidents are happening. This is very serious... If the most secure area of the state is not safe and they cannot catch the criminals then Bihar CM Nitish Kumar should resign,' said Yadav.
Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bihar tomorrow on June 20, Tejashwi Yadav hit out at the centre and claimed that the morale of the criminals was high in the 'demonic rule' of the NDA.
'In the demonic rule of NDA, the morale of the criminals protected by the government is so high that in the high security zone, at a short distance from the Governor's residence Raj Bhawan, Chief Minister's residence, Leader of the Opposition's residence, Judge's residence and the airport, the dreaded criminals are roaming around openly firing. Beware! What if someone calls it Jungle Raj? Anyway, the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar tomorrow, so the Godi media has to maintain a positive image,' posted Yadav on X.
Earlier in the day, Tejashwi Yadav claimed that the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar to do 'politics of hatred' and should be ashamed to come to the state due to unfulfilled promises.
'If PM Modi listens to his 200 speeches that he has given so far in Bihar, he will be ashamed to come to Bihar. He made hundreds of promises, he will be ashamed of what to say to the people of Bihar... He is not coming to Bihar to provide employment, reduce inflation, eliminate poverty, but just to do the politics of Hindu-Muslim, the politics of hatred,' Yadav told ANI earlier today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bihar tomorrow (June 20), where he is scheduled to address a public gathering in the Siwan district of the state. Earlier, as Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha urged people to attend the event in large numbers, he said that PM Modi will highlight the resolution for 'Viksit Bihar' and give a message for 'freedom from nepotism.'
Regarding nepotism, the RJD leader claimed that while the BJP criticises others of family-politics, half of the ministers in the state cabinet are dynasts, while also repeating his claim of NDA being a 'National Daamaad Aayog.
''They keep abusing us about family politics, but their alliance is filled with dynastic politicians, and the same thing is true even in their party (BJP). In Bihar, over 50 per cent of the ministers are dynasts... NDA in Bihar means 'National Daamaad Aayog'. PM Modi has fitted everyone's son-in-law in the 'Aayog',' the RJD leader said. (ANI)

Iran Israel war: 5.2 magnitude earthquake hits Iran.... Did the Muslim nation conduct secret underground nuclear test?
Iran Israel war: 5.2 magnitude earthquake hits Iran.... Did the Muslim nation conduct secret underground nuclear test? Iran Israel war: In the midst of the ongoing war with Israel, something happened in Iran late Friday night which has given birth to a new theory. On June 20, an earthquake of magnitude 5.1 hit Iran. Since this earthquake, speculations have started that Iran has secretly conducted a nuclear test. This earthquake occurred on June 20 at 9:19 pm local time. Let us tell you that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to destroy Iran's nuclear bases. Army is stationed in Semnan According to the information given by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), this earthquake in Iran was 35 kilometers below Semnan. The earthquake was so strong that its tremors were felt in many parts of northern Iran. However, there is no confirmation of anyone being injured or any major destruction due to this. The earthquake has come at a time when the conflict between Iran and Israel is increasing. Due to this war, Iran's military units have also been deployed in many areas including areas close to the earthquake zone. As soon as the information about the earthquake came, nuclear test started trending on X and users started making their own speculations. Some users said that if the nuclear test is true, then now even America will be afraid of entering the country. Importance of Semnan for Iran It is being told that Iran's Semnan province is the place where its missile complex and missile center is located. If the report of the website is to be believed, then a ballistic missile test range and manufacturing facility is present in the Semnan missile complex. It is believed that China has provided all the necessary help to Iran in making it. Iran started making Oghab unguided artillery rockets in Semnan in 1987. Its target since then was to make 600 to 1,000 such rockets every year. Solid fuel artillery rockets Najet, Shahab-I missiles are also produced in this plant. The website estimates that the Jeljel rocket was also probably made here. Iran's space center and its associated launching facilities are also in Semnan province. Iran refuses to negotiate According to a recent report in Israeli media, Israel has received information that Iranian scientists have successfully completed the process of designing nuclear weapons. Israel had then said that if this is true, then Iran is just a few steps away from making a nuclear bomb.
