In a recent statement, Jitan Ram Manjhi, the Union minister and founder of the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) party, criticized Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), for lacking the moral authority to discuss law and order issues in Bihar. Manjhi alleged that RJD members are significantly involved in criminal activities, referencing data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) to highlight that crimes such as land grabbing, murder, and atrocities against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are predominantly committed by RJD affiliates. He asserted that the Bihar government, led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, is taking a firm stance against crime, stating that criminals must either cease their activities or leave the state. Manjhi referred to the ongoing police operations, including 'Operation Langda', aimed at tackling criminal elements, and warned that failure to reform would result in dire consequences for offenders. His comments reflect a broader narrative of accountability and law enforcement in Bihar's political landscape, particularly in light of the state's recent crackdown on crime.
