Bihar's leader of opposition Tejashwi Yadav took to Twitter to target the Nitish Kumar government on the issue of bureaucracy. He said, "Bureaucracy is at its peak in Bihar. Officials promote corruption and bribery by neglecting government work. Public representatives are humiliated and citizens do not consider them equal. But what about the Government and the Ministers? They are concerned with their share in 'bandarbaant'".
Tejashwi wrote, "Corruption has become a left-handed game for the ruling party and fearless officers in the NDA government. Together, they earn illegal money and citizens are caught in a vicious cycle of bribery, government negligence, trouble and corruption. The public went wanders away, but there is no trace of hearing, action".
