Recently, LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan had given a very frank and sensitive statement regarding some serious criminal incidents and shortcomings related to the system in Bihar. He had admitted to the media that he feels extremely embarrassed by such incidents as a public representative and a part of the government.

Reacting to this statement of Chirag Paswan, former Chief Minister and another senior NDA ally Jitan Ram Manjhi showed a very aggressive attitude. He said in clear words that just verbally saying that we ‘feel embarrassed’ cannot solve any problem. Manjhi retorted in strong words and said that if someone really feels so ashamed, then instead of sitting idle, they should come forward and take administrative and legal action so that fear can be created in the minds of the criminals. He stressed that mere rhetoric does not reduce the pain of the people, rather there is a need to take strict action on the ground.
