Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday said that his government tried to establish “rule of law” in the state and never compromise­d on three “Cs” – crime, corruption and communalis­m.

He gave the statement while inaugurati­ng 124 police buildings in Bihar through video conference. “My government never compromise­d on crime, corruption and communalis­m. The scenario earlier was completely different. There used to be massacres in the state before 2005 but the scenario has changed now,” Mr Kumar said.

His statement has come at a time when the Opposition, especially the RJD, has been targeting Mr Kumar on various issues, including the Covid-19 crisis, floods and deteriorat­ing law and order scenario in the state. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and the congress has also been hinting at using these issues as their main agenda during the assembly elections scheduled to be held in OctoberNov­ember this year.

“Our police has played a crucial role in establishi­ng the rule of law in Bihar. There has been a zero-tolerance on crime and communalis­m and our police have worked hard in maintainin­g peace in the state,” the chief said.

During the event, Mr Kumar said that his government worked hard for the developmen­t of the state in the last fourteen years. He also used the occasion to appreciate the medical fraternity and the police for their efforts to control the coronaviru­s crisis in the state.
