Patna. Issues are considered very important in politics and political parties take advantage of the same issue by targeting their opponents in elections, which many times the opponents are not able to answer. The result affects the election result. A similar picture has been seen in Bihar for the last 18 years. But now the opposition parties in Bihar are also preparing to change their strategy and are working on the strategy of the ruling party.
In fact, since 2005, the NDA government led by Nitish Kumar has been targeting RJD citing law and order and jungle raj and taking electoral advantage, on which RJD is unable to retaliate strongly despite trying, and has to bear the brunt of it in the elections. If we talk about this Lok Sabha election, then from the Prime Minister to the Chief Minister and all the small and big leaders of NDA had raised the issue of law and order during the RJD rule and sought votes from the public. But, now RJD has started preparing to make this issue an election issue by questioning the good governance of Nitish Kumar on the basis of this issue.
There is a reason behind this new strategy of RJD. In fact, in the last few months, many criminal incidents have taken place in Bihar, due to which the opposition was attacking. But, in the meantime, the father of VIP chief Mukesh Sahni was murdered, after which the opposition parties got a big issue to surround the government and the Mahagathbandhan attacked the Nitish Kumar government. On the pretext of the incident, citing the deteriorating law and order in Bihar, a protest march was taken out across Bihar on 20 July and the Nitish government was attacked by accusing it of losing its credibility. Preparations were also made to make this issue an election issue.
The opposition is also constantly attacking on the deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar. In fact, Tejashwi Yadav is issuing press releases citing the statistics of the last one year in which he is not only cornering the government by releasing the statistics of the criminal incidents happening in Bihar every day. But he is also trying to tell the public that the Nitish government is completely failing in handling the law and order situation.
Tejashwi Yadav posted on X and wrote- A few pure, satvik and auspicious events that happened in the last few hours in the double engine operated BJP-NDA ruled Bihar, certified by high class messengers, as per the government:-
* Husband and wife brutally murdered by stabbing in East Champaran
* Triple murder in Saran, father and two minor daughters killed
* Young man and woman murdered in Marhaura, Chapra
* Family planning officer shot dead in Patna
* Teenager murdered in flood-hit Patna!
* Murder of a youth in Sasaram!
• Brutal murder of RJD Panchayat president in Gopalganj
Regarding this, senior Bihar journalist Arun Pandey says that it is obvious that RJD has picked up the issue of law and order. RJD knows that in every election, NDA attacks using this issue and has to bear the brunt of it in the elections. So, this issue should be raised to corner NDA and the issue should also be changed so that NDA does not get any benefit in the elections and the NDA government remains on the back foot. Arun Pandey says that Tejashwi also wants to tell the public that his priority is employment.
On the other hand, JDU’s chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar says that whatever the RJD prince does, whatever arguments he gives, the people of Bihar know everything and have seen what was the state of law and order in Bihar during his parents’ rule and how is the law and order in Bihar during Nitish Kumar’s rule. Today, if a crime happens, the criminals are caught immediately and they are also punished. Today, organized crime has completely ended in Bihar, whereas how crime used to happen during the RJD government. The people of Bihar still shudder remembering this. Therefore, whatever Tejaswi does, it will be of no use, no matter what issue he raises.
