Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD leader, has publicly dared the Nitish Kumar-led government to jail him if proven guilty in the ongoing dispute over falling bridges in Bihar. Yadav denied the JDU's charges, blaming infrastructure shortcomings on the present administration.
“Speaking to the media, Yadav stated, "There is a wonderful game of double engine in Bihar." One engine is involved in corruption, while the other engages in crime." He added that the RJD only held control of the Rural Works Department for 18 months, during which time the department lacked funding and the sanctioned bridges had not moved beyond the tender stage.”
In response, the JDU claimed that Yadav was in fact in control of the department and charged him with interfering with its day-to-day operations. Yadav refuted these assertions, pointing out that bridges built during the NDA's rule were involved in the most recent disasters.
In conclusion, the political back-and-forth over Bihar's infrastructure crisis is still going strong, with allegations flying between RJD and JDU. The blame for these shortcomings is still a hotly contested topic as the discussion heats up, underscoring the intricate workings of state governance.
