Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], July 6 (ANI): Slamming the JDU-BJP government in Bihar following the murder of a businessman, Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai on Sunday said that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has miserably failed in maintaining law and order in the state.

'There is 'Jungle Raaj' in Bihar just like Uttar Pradesh. His son was murdered a few years ago. This government under Nitish Kumar is a failure and Bihar's public should remove it in polls,' Ajay Rai told ANI.

Amid a political row sparked over the murder of a businessman, Gopal Khemka, in Patna's Gandhi Maidan area, BJP leader Tarun Chugh said that the NDA government in Bihar, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is committed to maintaining law and order.

His remarks follow the incident where businessman Gopal Khemka was shot dead near the main gate of his residence in Patna's Gandhi Maidan area.

Chugh added that the culprits of the case will not be spared.'The NDA government, led by Nitish Kumar, is committed to maintaining law and order there. No guilty person will be spared...' the BJP leader told ANI.

Chugh targeted the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), saying, '... Even today, some people are running the jungle raj that was operated by Lalu Prasad Yadav. This will not be tolerated. Whenever Bihar is mentioned, the people of Bihar tremble, remembering the corruption and jungle raj run by Lalu Yadav.'

The murder of the businessman has evoked sharp political reactions from the opposition parties and put the spotlight back on the law and order situation in the State, which is going to the polls in the next few months. (ANI)
