Bihar's administrative weakness allows mafia to flourish, says Tejashwi

Tejashwi Yadav, national working president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has levelled fresh criticism at Bihar's governance, claiming that criminal networks operate with impunity across all administrative levels in the state. Addressing concerns about law and order, Yadav attributed the proliferation of mafia activity to systemic failures at the top of the government hierarchy.

The opposition leader's remarks targeted Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary directly, with Yadav asserting that the CM's inexperience and lack of administrative capability have weakened institutional oversight. According to Yadav, this governance deficit has compromised the accountability structures that typically govern police operations and bureaucratic functioning.

The allegations represent a broader RJD offensive against the state government's law and order management at a time when Bihar continues to grapple with crime-related concerns. Yadav's comments underscore mounting pressure on the Choudhary administration to demonstrate improved administrative oversight and demonstrate greater control over state institutions.

The remarks add to ongoing political tensions in Bihar, where questions about governance and institutional effectiveness have become a focal point of opposition criticism. The RJD has increasingly positioned itself as a voice demanding stronger administrative oversight and more effective law enforcement mechanisms across the state.
