NEW DELHI: A day after Chirag Paswan showed his outrage against the law and order situation in Bihar, Independent MP Pappu Yadav on Sunday claimed that Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishore and the Union minister have joined hands for the upcoming assembly elections in the state.
While talking to reporters, Purnia MP advised Kishore to declare Chirag as the chief ministerial face from his side.
"Chirag ji and Prashant ji have become one. I feel that Prashant ji should have already declared Chirag ji as the chief minister," Pappu Yadav said.
"Prashant Kishore is a troubled souled and only a person from Dalit or EBC community can become CM. And Chirag ji, there as well as here, how will things work like this? I would suggest leave that side and come here," he added.
This comes after Chirag expressed anguish over the deteriorating law and order after a series of disturbing crimes in Bihar.
"I feel ashamed that I am supporting a government where crime has become uncontrolled," Chirag said.
"The way crime is happening in Bihar, the administration has totally bowed down in front of the criminals. It is correct that this incident required condemnation, but why such incidents are happening? There is a series of crimes. If it continues like this, the situation would be frightening, rather, it has become so," he added.
Earlier, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also took a swipe at Chirag Paswan, accusing him of having a "lust for power" and portraying himself powerless.
"There’s complete criminal disorder; the concept of law and order has collapsed. Chirag Paswan is raising these issues, but he himself is part of the same government. He’s a powerful Union minister, and his party has 5 MPs. Then why is he acting so helpless?" Tejashwi asked.
"On one hand, he is criticising his own government, and on the other, he’s portraying himself as powerless. If you really believe crime has surged in Bihar, if rapes are happening, if corruption is rampant—then why are you still in that alliance? Because you love your position. You’ve become so weak that despite being in power, you’re unable to act," he added.
Meanwhile, Chirag's remarks have triggered sharp reactions from alliance partners, while the BJP has chosen to remain silent.
Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) leader and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi responded swiftly, branding Chirag Paswan as "politically immature".
“Chirag’s politics is still in its infancy. His father, Ram Vilas Paswan, had a towering political stature. Chirag lacks experience and is speaking without full knowledge,” Manjhi said.
He further countered Chirag Paswan’s claims on law and order, asserting that the current situation is far better than pre-2005 Bihar.
“At that time, criminals could walk into the CM’s residence with impunity. Negotiations over kidnapping were taking place from the CM residence before 2005. Today, there is accountability. No one can enter 1 Anne Marg, the residence of the Chief Minister now,” Manjhi added.
