Hitting back at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)’s allegations of ‘jungle raj’ under the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) rule in Bihar, the Congress on Sunday (November 02, 2025) tried to corner Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on the issue of question paper leak, ‘migration’ of families in search of employment and alleged increase in heinous crimes in the state.
Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh hit out at the ruling coalition, citing increase in criminal incidents in the state and asked the Prime Minister if this is the so-called Mangal Raj of his ‘trouble engine government’? The NDA is warning voters in Bihar that the Grand Alliance’s return to power will bring back the era of jungle raj that prevailed during the previous RJD regime, where criminals operated without fear of punishment.
Congress leader asked questions to BJP
Ramesh said in a post on ‘X’ that on the same streets of Patna where youth were lathicharged almost every month demanding jobs and fair recruitment exams, the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister are holding road shows for votes. So today we want to ask him three direct questions. Under your patronage, dozens of question paper leaks and recruitment-entrance examination scams took place in Bihar, due to which the future of lakhs of youth was ruined.
When this was not enough, the business of selling fake degrees also began to flourish, Ramesh alleged. He asked, ‘Why was the hard work and future of lakhs of youth of Bihar compromised?’
‘Why is the condition of Bihar bad even after 20 years?’
The Congress leader said, ‘According to a caste-based survey conducted in Bihar, 64 percent of the population i.e. about nine crore people still live on just Rs 67 per day. Why is the condition of Bihar so bad even after 20 years of your government?
He took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA’s slogan of ‘double engine government’, under which it is claimed that having an NDA government at both the Center and the state ensures rapid development. Ramesh alleged that due to the policies of the Trouble Engine government, 3.18 crore people were forced to leave the state in search of employment. He asked the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister whether they would take responsibility for the migration of these families.
‘8 major crime incidents in 7 days in Bihar’
The Congress leader said, ‘CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) has exposed a scam of Rs 70,000 crore in 10 departments of Bihar. Like Maharashtra, will these scams in Bihar also be considered a sign of ‘acche din’? Please comment on this.
He said, ‘When you see the headlines of your road show in Bihar, please also pay attention to the headlines of the heinous crimes that took place in the state last week.’ Ramesh said that in just seven days, eight major incidents of murder and shooting took place in Bihar.
Congress leader mentioned the incidents
Listing these incidents he wrote,
1. Mokama: Murder of Dularchand Yadav.
2. Bhojpur: Murder of father and son, supporters of Upendra Kushwaha.

The so-called ‘Mangal Raj’ of the ‘Trouble Engine’ government
Ramesh said that these were just a few of the major criminal incidents that took place in a week. Citing National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data, Ramesh said that on an average eight murders, 33 kidnappings and 133 heinous crimes take place in Bihar every day. He said, ‘Prime Minister, is this the so-called ‘Mangal Raj’ of your ‘Trouble Engine’ government?
Voting for the assembly elections in Bihar will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, while the counting of votes will be done on November 14. Opposition alliance ‘India’ has declared RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as its candidate for the post of Chief Minister in the state.
