Patna, February 5: Former Chief Minister Rabri Devi has alleged that the Bihar government is attempting to cover up the circumstances surrounding the death of a NEET student. She stated that the investigation has now been handed over to the CBI, suggesting that a minister or a minister’s son may be involved, which she claims is why the government is trying to protect those responsible.
In response, Bihar government minister Ramkripal Yadav refuted these allegations, insisting that no cover-up is taking place. “We want justice for the victim and her family. The truth will come out,” he stated. Yadav emphasized that the government is taking action at every level.
Regarding comments made by Tamil Nadu minister M.R.K. Panneerselvam about people from North India, Yadav expressed that such remarks are unfortunate. He condemned the statements made by someone in a constitutional position and called for the minister’s removal and a public apology.
Bihar minister Dilip Jaiswal also responded to Rabri Devi’s claims of a cover-up, asserting that the rule of law prevails in Bihar. He defended the investigation conducted by the SIT and the forthcoming CBI inquiry, stating that making accusations without evidence is inappropriate. “Any criminal will not be spared,” he assured.
Jaiswal criticized Tejashwi Yadav, claiming he is out of touch and failing to recognize the development happening in Bihar, including the construction of five medical colleges and improvements in infrastructure.
He dismissed the Tamil Nadu minister’s comments as madness, suggesting that leaders who use such language have lost their mental balance.
