Bihar Opposition lobs ‘gun and bullets sarkar’ jibe; CM Nitish loses cool, errs in speech

Opposition legislators in the Bihar Assembly accused the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government of being a "gun and bullets Sarkar" following a baton charge on protesting watchmen. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar responded by asserting that his government would run smoothly, while also criticizing the previous RJD regime for lawlessness. The Opposition raised concerns about the treatment of the watchmen who were demanding a pay hike, with Kumar Sarvajeet, an RJD MLA, stating that they were "treated with a brutal baton-charge." Parliamentary Affairs Minister Vijay Kumar Choudhury assured the protesting watchmen that their demands would be addressed.
