On April 5, 2026, Tejashwi Yadav (Leader of Opposition in Bihar's Legislative Assembly) criticized the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government for its poor performance across various sectors. He pointed out that Bihar has the lowest literacy rate, per capita income, and investment in the country, while also facing the highest crime rates and poverty levels. Yadav challenged Kumar and the two Deputy Chief Ministers, Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, to a public debate on the state's progress. He emphasized that Bihar ranks at the bottom in education, health services, and industrial development, despite 21 years of NDA rule. In response, BJP leaders defended the government's record, asserting that improvements have been made since Nitish Kumar took office in 2005, contrasting it with the previous rule under Yadav's father, Lalu Prasad Yadav.
