In yet ar attack on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD leer Tejashwi Yav has said that t only JDU leers and alliance partners, but even state's police is t following CM's orders. Yav was commenting on deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar and was referring to jolt to JDU in Arunachal Presh.

On December 10, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar reviewed law and order situation for second time in 10 days amid rising crime rate in state. RJD has been targeting Nitish-led NDA government for being ineffective in controlling law and order situation in state. As per reports, till December, state witnessed 505 murders, 176 rapes, 13 abductions for ransom, 5073 ft and 704 burglaries, according to official figures of police hequarters. Nitish Kumar h said, " rule of law must be enforced and anti-social must fear law. It is important to give emphasis on speedy trial and proper investigation and prosecution. senior officials must do regular monitoring," but his call for safety seems to have gone in vain.

JD(U)'s diminished role in Bihar

2020 Bihar Assembly election witnessed a voter turut of 57.05 per cent as against that of 56.66 per cent in 2015 polls.  polls turned out to be a nail-biting contest with NDA emerging victorious in 125 seats as against that of 110 seats won by Mahagatbandhan. BJP, RJD, JD(U), Congress won 74, 75, 43, and 19 seats respectively. BJP winning more seats than JD(U) for first time in a Bihar Assembly election led to speculation that JD(U)'s clout in alliance will reduce. LJP is believed to have damd JD(U)'s prospects in 32 seats despite bagging a solitary seat.

While Kumar again took oath as CM of Bihar, BJP has two Deputy CMs in 4-time MLAs Tarkishore Pras and Renu Devi. Kumar's recent revelation that BJP pressurised him to become Chief Minister set rumour mills abuzz. While ackwledging that former JD(U) chief didn't want to become CM, BJP MP Sushil Kumar Modi opined that Kumar was convinced to take up post as he was face of coalition in polls.
