While JD(U) hits out at ally, saying he was free to join hands with “tainted people” if he felt uncomfortable in NDA, BJP more guarded

Chirag Paswan’s Attack on Nitish Govt Over Ambulance Rape Case Raises Political Tempers in Bihar

Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has sparked fresh political tensions in Bihar with sharp criticism of the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government following the shocking ambulance rape incident. Citing the state’s “deteriorating law and order,” Paswan’s remarks have triggered a political storm and raised questions about internal rifts within the ruling alliance.

Paswan, a key ally in the NDA, did not hold back in his comments and further stirred controversy by acknowledging “political constraints” that compel him to continue supporting the Nitish Kumar government. His statements have not only drawn fierce rebuttals from JD(U) but have also left the BJP in an awkward position, trying to balance internal alliance harmony with public perception.

Opposition Parties React Swiftly

The Opposition parties, including the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), were quick to leverage Paswan’s remarks. They claimed his criticism only validated their accusations that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has lost control over governance and law enforcement in Bihar.

“Even NDA allies are admitting the collapse of law and order. What more proof is needed?” an RJD spokesperson said.

Internal NDA Strains Surface

Paswan’s outburst comes at a time when NDA allies are trying to project unity ahead of the upcoming state assembly elections. His comments, however, have exposed growing unease within the alliance, especially over administrative failures and public backlash.

The JD(U) leadership has hit back strongly, accusing Paswan of trying to gain political mileage by distancing himself from the government he is part of. Meanwhile, BJP leaders are reportedly concerned that such public rifts could hurt the coalition’s image in Bihar.

A Calculated Political Move?

Political observers suggest that Paswan’s remarks could be a strategic move to carve out an independent identity ahead of elections, especially among youth and Dalit voters. By criticizing Nitish Kumar while still staying within the NDA, Paswan may be attempting to balance alliance loyalty with voter outreach.

Looking Ahead

The controversy comes at a sensitive time, with Bihar’s political landscape already in flux due to multiple realignments and growing public concerns over crime and governance. How the BJP handles the friction between its allies—and whether Chirag Paswan continues to raise the heat—could significantly shape the NDA’s trajectory in the coming months.
