Bihar CM Samrat Chaudhary’s claim that crime is not a crime sparked sharp rebuke from opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, who also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary recently asserted that "crime can happen in Bihar, but it is not a crime," a statement that quickly drew attention on social media. The remark was made during a public address where the CM sought to downplay rising law‑and‑order concerns in the state.
Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav responded with sarcasm, questioning the logic of the CM’s comment and adding a metaphor about keeping betel nut (supari) to waste. Yadav’s retort highlighted what he described as a reckless approach to governance and suggested that the CM’s statements were aimed at obscuring real problems.
In addition to targeting the CM, Yadav extended his criticism to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, implying that the central leadership was also complicit in ignoring Bihar’s issues. The exchange has gone viral, with many netizens sharing clips of the debate and debating the political implications.
Political analysts note that such public spats reflect the heightened tension between the ruling party in Bihar and the opposition ahead of upcoming local elections, and they may influence voter sentiment in the state.
