Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 | Nitish Kumar serving 'cocktail of crime, corruption and communalism' to Bihar: Dipankar Bhattacharya

In an interview, the Left leader described as “scary” the situation in the state, where the longest serving Chief Minister claims to have ended “jungle raj” that allegedly prevailed under the rule of RJD, an ally of the CPI(ML)-L.

CPI(ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya took a jibe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's government saying its serving people a "cocktail of crime, corruption and communalism."

He said these are the three "Cs" on which the CM had promised not to compromise.

In an interview with PTI, the Left leader described as “scary” the situation in the state, where the longest serving Chief Minister claims to have ended “jungle raj” that allegedly prevailed under the rule of RJD, an ally of the CPI(ML)-L.

“Nitish ji used to say that he would never compromise on the three Cs – crime, corruption, and communalism after joining hands with the BJP. But his rule displays not just a compromise, but a cocktail of the three Cs”, alleged Bhattacharya.

He added that it is a scary situation in Bihar which "seems to be run by a nexus between criminal gangs, politicians, and the police."

"They form a coalition that rules Bihar, and not the NDA," he said.

“The RJD is not what it was decades ago", asserted the CPI(ML) Liberation leader, whose cadre was known to have been involved in bloody feuds with the party headed by Lalu Prasad, the Chief Minister in the 1990s, who later passed over the mantle to his wife Rabri Devi.
