Overview

  • Lalu Prasad Yadav cited official data showing over 65,000 murders during Nitish Kumar’s tenure and pointed to a recent double killing in Patna’s Alamganj area to illustrate a failing law enforcement system.
  • Police figures indicate Bihar’s monthly average murder rate edged up from 232 in 2024 to 233 in the first five months of 2025.
  • Lalu alleged that the Nitish Kumar–BJP alliance has dismantled the state’s police machinery, producing a force he described as corrupt, indifferent and lethargic.
  • JD(U) MP Sanjay Jha and BJP leaders countered that Nitish Kumar restored rule of law after Lalu’s era, asserting criminals face action within 48 to 72 hours and receive no political protection.
  • Law and order has become a central battleground in Bihar politics, with parties trading accusations over governance records ahead of October’s Assembly elections.
