Patna: In a fresh
embarrassment to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, JD-U leader and MP
Jainarain Prasad Nishad Tuesday said the Bihar government had
failed on all fronts and the state was under 'mafia raj'.
"It is mafia raj (rule) which is prevalent in Bihar. There is no
good governance," Nishad, the Lok Sabha member from Muzaffarpur,
told IANS over telephone.
He said violence in Madhubani, in which three people were killed,
and in other places had exposed the so-called "good governance".
Nishad condemned the way Hind Kesri Yadav, a former state
minister, was assaulted by suspected goons close to liquor vendors
in Muzaffarpur town last week.
Yadav, in his mid-70s, was beaten with sticks and iron rods by
henchmen of vendors for leading a procession demanding a ban on
sale of liquor in the district, police said.
Nishad's comments come more than two weeks after Purnia BJP MP
Uday Singh came down heavily on the BJP-JD-U government in Bihar.
