Bihar Minister Lakhendra Paswan has countered Union minister Chirag Paswan's recent comments about rising crimes against women in the state, urging him to take his concerns directly to the state administration.
The BJP leader's remarks came in response to Chirag Paswan's public statements regarding the law and order situation affecting women in Bihar. Rather than engaging through media channels, Lakhendra Paswan suggested that the Union minister would be better served visiting Bihar and holding substantive discussions with the NDA-led state government.
The exchange highlights ongoing political commentary around women's safety in Bihar, a state that has faced scrutiny over crime rates. The state government has repeatedly stressed its commitment to improving law and order, though concerns about women's safety remain a persistent issue in public discourse.
Chirag Paswan, who represents the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has previously raised questions about governance issues in Bihar despite his party's alliance with the BJP at the national level. The incident underscores the occasional friction between coalition partners at different levels of government despite their formal political alignment.
