New Delhi: RJD National Spokesperson, Nawal Kishore, on Wednesday slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the rising crime rate in the state and demanded an immediate resignation from his post.
He alleged that there was no police patrolling at night even in the capital Patna.
"Whenever Chief minister Nitish Kumar is asked questions about the increase in criminal cases in the state, he says what was the situation before 2005," the RJD leader said.
He further said that Kumar must resign from the post of Home Minister as the crime graph shows rapid growth in murder, rape and robbery case in the state capital and other adjoining districts.
"The role of a Home Minister is to maintain the law and order situation in the state. Despite, balancing the law and order, criminals have been roaming freely in the state. He should immediately resign from his post", added Kishore.
CM Kumar has been facing huge criticism from the opposition parties after Rupesh Kumar Singh, a manager with IndiGo airlines, was shot dead by unidentified bike-borne men in the Punaichak area of Patna on January 12.
However, Kumar formed a special team to probe the murder of an IndiGo airlines manager but no arrest has been made till date.
