Patna, February 23 Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, claimed on Monday that the state has become the poorest in the country and is lagging behind in employment, per capita income, and sports.
Yadav made the remarks outside the House during the ongoing Assembly session.
"In the 21 years of the NDA rule, Bihar has become the poorest state with the lowest per capita income, the largest number of unemployed people, and is lagging in sports and other sectors," he said.
He also added that the state is also facing dismal conditions in terms of investment, education, and healthcare.
The RJD leader further claimed that the state is witnessing "crime, corruption, misgovernance, dictatorship, and bureaucratic hijacking of governance" at an alarming level.
"Rape, kidnapping, and murder are happening daily in the state. Neither is the government taking action, nor does it have answers when questions are raised in the House," Yadav alleged.
Yadav said that it is a "misfortune" of Bihar that it has an "unconscious" chief minister.
"These corrupt people have drained out the exchequer, and in the coming days, the state will not be left with enough money to pay the salaries of government employees," he alleged.
