No Difference in Lalu, Nitish Goyts: Kishor on Khemka’s Murder
The murder of businessman Gopal Khemka in Bihar has sent shockwaves across the state, and the heat is now on the Nitish Kumar-led government. Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor has been vocal about his criticism of the government, saying that there is no difference between Lalu Yadav’s “jungle raj” and Nitish Kumar’s rule. In an interview, Kishor stated, “During Lalu Yadav’s rule, there was a rampage by criminals, and in Nitish Kumar’s rule, there is a rampage by officials.”
Kishor’s statement is a scathing indictment of the Nitish Kumar government, which has been accused of being complacent in the face of rising crime and corruption. The murder of Khemka, a well-known businessman, has brought to the fore the issue of law and order in the state. Khemka was found dead in his office, and the police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
Kishor’s criticism of the government is not new. He has been a vocal critic of the Nitish Kumar government, saying that it has failed to deliver on its promises of good governance and development. However, his statement on Khemka’s murder takes it to a whole new level. By saying that there is no difference between Lalu Yadav’s “jungle raj” and Nitish Kumar’s rule, Kishor is essentially saying that the Nitish Kumar government is just as corrupt and incompetent as Lalu Yadav’s government was.
Lalu Yadav’s government, which was in power from 1990 to 1997, was notorious for its corruption and lawlessness. It was during this period that Bihar became synonymous with crime and corruption, and the state’s economy suffered greatly as a result. The Nitish Kumar government, which has been in power since 2005, had promised to bring about a change in this regard. However, Kishor’s statement suggests that the government has failed to deliver on this promise.
Kishor’s criticism of the government is not without merit. The Nitish Kumar government has been accused of being complacent in the face of rising crime and corruption. Despite the government’s claims of having taken steps to improve law and order, the state continues to be plagued by crime and corruption. The murder of Khemka is just the latest example of this.
It is worth noting that Kishor’s statement is not just a personal opinion, but is also backed by facts. According to a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), the Nitish Kumar government has failed to deliver on its promises of good governance and development. The report highlights the government’s failure to improve law and order, and its inability to tackle corruption.
The Nitish Kumar government has been quick to respond to Kishor’s criticism, saying that it is committed to bringing about a change in the state. However, the government’s track record suggests otherwise. Despite its claims of having taken steps to improve law and order, the state continues to be plagued by crime and corruption.
In conclusion, Kishor’s statement that there is no difference between Lalu Yadav’s “jungle raj” and Nitish Kumar’s rule is a scathing indictment of the Nitish Kumar government. The government’s failure to deliver on its promises of good governance and development has led to a situation where the state is plagued by crime and corruption. The murder of Khemka is just the latest example of this, and it is up to the government to take concrete steps to address the issue.
