oOn July 26, Union Minister Chirag Paswan was in Gaya to address a public rally, when he lashed out at the Nitish Kumar-led NDA regime in Bihar. “I’m sorry I have to support this government,” he said when asked by the media about the ambulance rape incident two days ago that shook the town and made national headlines. “Murder, kidnapping, rape… but the state apparatus bows before the criminals.” Although he refrained from naming the prime minister, there was no mistaking who his salvo was aimed at. The Home Ministry is working under Nitish.
