Patna: Believe it or not, the state of ‘grand alliance’-Bihar has witnessed 578 murders in just two months of Assembly election that brought JD(U) and RJD to power.

A report by CNN-IBN states that in the last month alone more than 300 cases of murders and kidnappings were reported in Bihar.

The matter came to discussion with the recent murders of engineers in Bihar- Brajesh Kumar and Mukesh Kumar, employed with road construction company M/S BSCCNC, who were shot dead by some people on a motorcycle on Darbhanga-Kusheshwarsthan state highway in Darbhanga district while the duo was supervising laying of a road.

Despite CM Nithish Kumar taking the reigns of the state promising that there will be no compromise with rule of law in the state, many had expressed apprehensions about the ‘Grand Alliance’ as Lalu Prasad Yadav’s RJD became single-largest party in Bihar Assembly.

The apprehensive lot had feared that with Lalu being a part of the grand alliance, the ‘Jungle Raj’ may return in the state as he would have more say in the government. The statistics have only given fodder to this claim.
