Why BJP-ruled states not getting protesting youth killed in police firing?, asks JD(U) chief Lalan Singh after BJP questions admn failure in Bihar

PATNA: Soon after the BJP state president Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal, at a press conference, raised questions over ‘good governance’ (of CM Nitish Kumar) and administration’s failure during violent attacks on the party offices and the houses of some senior leaders of the saffron party by the protestors of ‘Agnipath’ scheme, JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh said, “Jaiswal has lost his (mental) balance due to the ‘aakrosh’ (anger) of protesting students and youth, and instead of allaying the apprehension from the mind of protesting youth, he is levelling baseless charges against the administration.”

“It is the effect of your lost balance that you (Jaiswal) are levelling baseless allegations against the administration. Nitish Kumar Ji is a competent person for running the administration and he has even got an award for good governance. Hence, we do not require any ‘education’ from Sanjay Jaiswal. The administration is discharging its duties,” the JD(U) national president said while reacting over Jaiswal’s allegations that people in the administration and police did not react sharply when the BJP’s offices at Madhepura and Nawada were set on fire during the protest over ‘Agnipath’ scheme.
