Budget session is going on in Bihar. During this period, the war of words between the ruling party and the opposition leaders is also intense. The leader of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s party on Friday (February 13, 2026) targeted Jungle Raj while referring to the rule of Lalu-Rabri. While talking to the media in the Bihar Assembly complex, JDU MLA Shyam Rajak said that if we bring the animal from the forest to the city then it will not feel good. He will feel like living in the forest only.

Shyam Rajak further said, “This (NDA rule) rule will not suit the people of Jungle Raj, because there is peace and tranquility here. Everything is there. When incidents happen, action is taken on them, criminals are caught, punishment is also given, but the people of Jungle Raj are not liking it because the animal of the jungle suits the jungle only.

‘I am not saying that incidents have not happened…’

On the question related to incidents like murder and robbery, Shyam Rajak replied, “It is not happening every day. I am not saying that incidents have not happened, incidents have happened and it is a matter of concern for us. The government, administration, police are actively engaged.”

‘Get information…who used to rule the kingdom’

On this question, the opposition says that even before 2005, when incidents happened, arrests were made and action was taken, then how did he become jungle raj? Does this mean he is still Jungle Raj? On this, Shyam Rajak said, “Let me give an example, how many people were arrested? I have also been a part of it… Those people should not tell me that there were arrests and people were caught. All the people were sitting side by side. If I take the name, there will be another uproar. Abdul Bari Siddiqui is a good man. I am not saying about him, but what all did not happen in that rule (RJD), get information about who ran the rule. Were.”

What happened in Odisha?

In fact, a few days ago a priest was assaulted in Dhenkanal district of Odisha. Pastor Bipin Bihar Naik was attacked by people of Hindu organization. In this, he was beaten, forced to eat cow dung, garlanded with slippers and an attempt was made to raise slogans of Jai Shri Ram. The incident happened on January 4. Till now no arrest has been made in this case. Questions are also being raised on the police for not taking action in this matter. However, the pastor has demanded forgiveness from the mob.

Serious and violent crimes like murder, dacoity, robbery and riots in Bihar have reached their lowest level in the last 20-25 years. The data from 2001 to 2025 shared by Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) Vinay Kumar shows that there has been a big change in the crime situation of the state. The crimes due to which Bihar was once associated with ‘Jungle Raj’ are now seeing a steady decline.

According to the data published in the newspaper, 3,619 cases of murder were registered in Bihar in the year 2001. This number remained above 3,000 between 2005 and 2015, but after that it started declining. There was a slight increase in cases in 2019 and 2020, but in 2025, murder cases dropped to 2,556, the lowest in two and a half decades.

Biggest decline in robbery cases

According to media reports, the biggest decline has been recorded in the cases of robbery. While there were 1,297 cases of robbery in 2004, this number dropped to just 174 in 2025. This means that in 25 years, the cases of robbery have decreased by more than 80 percent. The same trend was seen in robbery cases also. This number decreased from 2,909 cases in 2004 to 1,558 in 2025.

Cases recorded will drop to lowest in the year 2025

A historic decline has also been recorded in cases related to riots. There were 13,566 cases of riots in 2014, which reduced to 2,502 in 2025. This is the lowest figure since 2001. However, the increase in rape cases remains a matter of concern. This number increased from 746 cases in the year 2000 to 2,205 in 2024. There was a slight decline in 2025 and 2,025 cases were registered.

There has been a decline in cases of kidnapping for ransom

Despite the decline in serious crimes, total cognizable crimes have increased in Bihar. According to the information, the main reasons for this are theft, burglary, cyber crime, non-ransom kidnapping and other non-violent crimes. Theft and burglary have now become a major part of the total crimes. The reasons for increase in kidnapping cases are often said to be love affairs, missing children and family disputes. Whereas the cases of kidnapping for ransom have decreased.

Now only a few days are left for Bihar Assembly elections 2025. In such a situation, the process of allegations and counter-allegations seems to be intensifying. Union Minister Chirag Paswan has fiercely targeted the alliance of RJD and Congress.

Lokjan Shakti Party (Ram Vilas) LJPR President Chirag Paswan, while talking to news agency ANI on Saturday, said that the situation in Bihar in the 90s is not hidden from anyone. Taking aim at the then government, he said how murder, plunder, robbery and kidnapping were all at their peak.

Chirag Paswan targets Congress and RJD
Targeting Congress and RJD, Union Minister Chirag Paswan said that how industries were stopped from coming here, how such a perception was created about Bihar due to which people stopped investing in Bihar. Fed up with crime, the people of Bihar started migrating and maximum migration took place in Bihar at the time when Jungle Raj was prevalent in Bihar and this is absolutely true.

‘RJD and Congress ruined Bihar’
The Union Minister said that RJD and Congress have worked together to destroy Bihar and ever since the NDA government came to power at the Center for the third time, PM Modi has visited Bihar several times in the last one year. PM Modi has dedicated schemes worth lakhs of crores for Bihar. This in itself shows how much difference there is in the thinking of the two alliances.

Chirag Paswan said that an alliance which promotes crime and provides protection is the Grand Alliance. On the other hand, we have the NDA alliance whose minister is only for development.
