The recent sensational firing in Bihar’s capital Patna and the increasing crime graph have once again raised serious questions about the law and order of the state. After this painful and shocking incident, political excitement has reached its peak. Jan Suraj Party founder and political strategist Prashant Kishor has made the most sharp and aggressive attack on the state’s Nitish Kumar government regarding the Patna shooting incident. Giving an open challenge to the government, he has directly asked that if the old era was ‘Jungle Raj’, then what name should be given to these incidents happening openly today. Prashant Kishore even said that either encounter the criminals or hang them publicly, otherwise the people of this state will completely lose faith in the law. Since this statement came to light, there has been an uproar in the politics of Bihar and it is being discussed everywhere whether law and order has really gone completely derailed under the rule of Sushasan Babu.
The horrifying story of Patna firing and the atmosphere of fear spread among the general public.
This entire sensational incident happened in a busy area of Patna when fearless criminals carried out this audacious incident of firing in broad daylight. The news of many innocent people being shot and seriously injured in this firing came to light, which created an atmosphere of panic in the entire area. According to eyewitnesses, the fear of police and law has vanished in the hearts of criminals to such an extent that they no longer have any fear of anyone. Every day, incidents of murder, robbery, kidnapping and firing are being reported from entire Bihar including the capital Patna, due to which common citizens have started feeling unsafe in their own homes. Such incidents have exposed the working style and security claims of the police administration, after which anti-government voices are continuously becoming louder.
Prashant Kishor’s sharp taunt: Questions on the definition of ‘Jungle Raj’ and the failure of the current government
Prashant Kishor, who continuously raised questions on the system of Bihar through his Jan Suraj Yatra and public meetings, took the government to task over the Patna firing incident. Reminding the tenure of the old governments, he asked the present rulers in sharp words that if the opposition used to call that period as Jungle Raj, then what should be called this system which is openly shedding blood of innocents today. PK clearly says that changing the name or advertisements does not change the reality on the ground. Today the youth of Bihar are forced to migrate due to lack of employment and those who are left behind are becoming the target of bullets of criminals. He bluntly said that the present government, which has completely failed in governance, should now accept the truth before the public and take strictest action against the criminals without any political pressure.
The morale of criminals is high, politics is heated over police administration and encounter policy.
To control the increasing crime in Bihar and the criminals roaming around fearlessly, the demand for encounter and strict punishment has started gaining momentum in the political circles. Prashant Kishor’s statement that either the criminals should be encountered or they should be hanged shows how much resentment there is about the system among the people and leaders of the state. The way criminal incidents have increased in the last few months, it has also raised serious fingers on the intelligence system and patrolling system of the police. Opposition parties are continuously alleging that due to political protection, criminals are roaming freely and the police is limited to only doing paperwork. Amidst this increasing pressure, it remains to be seen whether the government and administration wake up from their slumber and take any concrete steps or whether the situation continues to go from bad to worse.
What will be its impact on the political future of Bihar and the winds of change?
Patna firing and Prashant Kishor’s aggressive statement on it have completely shaken the political equations of the times to come. The people of Bihar now want to rise above traditional caste politics and talk about issues of education, health, employment and above all their security and law and order. This voice rising from the platform of Jan Suraj is an indication that the voters of the state now want change and are in no mood to forgive any party merely on the basis of empty promises. If the government does not crack down on criminals in time and establish the rule of law, then this public anger can become the biggest reason for change of power in the upcoming elections. However, this blood shed on the streets of Patna and the politics going on over it have once again drawn deep lines of worry on the forehead of Bihar.
