Tejashwi Calls Bihar Govt ‘Useless’
Reacting to the incident, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav called those in power useless and said that they are unable to handle Bihar.
“If Modi ji is coming, he should go & meet the victims (bereaved families) of all the murders that have taken place. He should look for the perpetrators and punish them. Will he come just for votes?,” he further added.
On Wednesday, five armed men entered a Bihar hospital and casually walked into a patient’s room, pumped pellets into him, and escaped. According to CCTV footage, five shooters could be seen pulling out their guns, opening the cabin’s door, and then escaping. Chandan Mishra, the target, died during the treatment.
The audacity of the shooting-carried out within the premises of a medical facility in the heart of the state capital-has raised serious questions about security and policing in Bihar. The incident is the latest in a troubling series of violent crimes that have rocked the state in recent weeks.
