Union Minister Chirag Paswan condemned the murder of businessman Gopal Khemka in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan area, expressing deep concern over the safety situation in Bihar. He questioned the effectiveness of the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government in maintaining law and order, especially in affluent parts of the city.
Paswan highlighted that if such a violent incident could occur in a posh locality of Patna, it raises serious doubts about the security conditions in rural areas. His remarks pointed to a growing apprehension regarding the state government’s ability to protect its citizens across the region.
Representing the Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), which is part of the NDA government both in Bihar and at the Centre, Chirag Paswan’s criticism underscores internal concerns within the ruling coalition about the state’s law and order scenario.
