Bihar Minister Slams Chirag Paswan: 'He Should Better Visit Bihar'

Bihar Minister and BJP leader Lakhendra Paswan on Tuesday took a dig at Union Minister Chirag Paswan over his remarks on rising crime against women in the state, suggesting that he should 'better visit Bihar' and hold direct talks with the NDA-led state government. The comment came in response to Chirag Paswan's recent criticism of the state government's handling of law and order.

Chirag Paswan, who heads the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), a constituent of the NDA, had earlier expressed concern over incidents of crime against women in Bihar. Lakhendra Paswan, a senior BJP leader, dismissed the criticism and advised the Union minister to engage with the state government instead of making public statements. The exchange underscores the internal dynamics of the NDA alliance in Bihar, where Chirag Paswan's party has been vocal on various issues.

The remarks have sparked discussions about the cohesion of the NDA in Bihar, especially ahead of upcoming elections. While the state government has not officially responded, the incident highlights the challenges of alliance management. It remains to be seen whether Chirag Paswan will take up the suggestion for direct talks or continue his public critique.
