Bihar’s Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has hit out at the Nitish Kumar government right after opposition MLAs had been thrashed and some of them seriously injured following higher drama in the state assembly more than Bihar Special Armed Police Bill, 2021 introduced by the state government.
The Opposition led by RJD protested against the bill, saying that the act would give absolute powers to the police. “Draconian act which will give absolute powers to Police, so that it can act as a veritable arm of Nitish’s dictatorial politics, has been passed in police protection by throwing out battered MLAs using Police itself,” stated Yadav in a tweet sharing a video displaying police blocking opposition MLAs inside the property.
After the ruckus inside the assembly, police and para forces had been used to evict the opposition members. Yadav shared a image of an injured MLA even though attacking the government. “The cruel chief of demonic government Nitish Kumar beat up our unarmed legislators inside the assembly. My revolutionary fellow MLA Satish Das, who belongs to a poor family, became a victim of the hooliganism of Nitish Kumar. He suffered a head injury. The picture is proof,” he tweeted.
राक्षसी प्रवृति वाली सरकार के ज़ालिम मुखिया नीतीश कुमार ने सदन के अंदर हमारे निहत्थे विधायकों को पिटवाया।
गरीब परिवार से संबंध रखने वाले मेरे क्रांतिकारी साथी विधायक सतीश दास नीतीश कुमार की गुंडई का शिकार बने। उन्हें सिर में चोट मारी गयी। तस्वीर प्रमाण है। #नीतीशकुमार_शर्म_करो pic.twitter.com/zKLQA4klBf

In yet another tweet, Yadav attacked CM Nitish Kumar. “A ‘C’ grade, shameless and undemocratic Chief Minister doing unethical politics like Nitish Kumar will not be there in the whole country. See how the head of the Gunda government is demonstrating his government’s hooliganism by dragging the opposition honorable MLA elected by 3 lakh people,” he stated sharing a video of police dragging opposition MLA.
“An RJD MLA was beaten up so much by the goons of the Gunda government inside the temple of democracy that he had to be carried on a stretcher in an ambulance. He was saying that cruel Nitish ji will get him murdered. Anyway, CM has old experience of killing,” stated Tejashwi Yadav.
श्रीमती अनिता देवी नोनिया के पैर में चोट लगी है। पुलिसकर्मियों ने उनके साथ बदसलूकी की। उनकी साड़ी खुलने के बाद भी प्रशासन की बेशर्मी जारी रही। निहत्थी महिला विधायकों की इज्जत तार-तार होने पर क्या निर्लज्ज नीतीश कुमार को नींद आयेगी? #नीतीशकुमार_शर्म_करो https://t.co/TfhR5wcZ04
