Bihar is Crying Rabri Devi Launches Scathing Attack on Nitish Kumar Over Student Suicides and Paper Leaks:

In a high-decibel political confrontation in Patna, former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD leader Rabri Devi launched a blistering attack on the Nitish-BJP led NDA government on February 19, 2026. Raising her voice against the deteriorating law and order and the crumbling education system, she accused the Chief Minister of being "completely disconnected" from the pain of the common man.

Her outburst follows a string of tragic events that have recently shaken the state, from the suicide of a young matriculation student to the ongoing shadows of the NEET paper leak.

1. The Tragedy of Young Lives

The catalyst for Rabri Devi’s latest stance was the heart-wrenching suicide of a Matriculation (Class 10) student.

The Allegation: She claimed that the immense pressure of a failing education system and the lack of support from the administration are driving children to the brink.

The Quote: "When a child dies, a future is buried. Why is the Nitish government silent while our students lose hope?" she questioned.

2. The 'Paper Leak' Poison

Rabri Devi did not mince words regarding the recurring paper leak scandals, particularly referencing the NEET controversy and state-level exams. She alleged that Bihar has become a "hub for solvers and mafias" under the current regime, destroying the merit of hardworking students.

3. The Failure of Prohibition (Alcoholism)

Despite Bihar being a "dry state," Rabri Devi highlighted the rampant availability of liquor.

The Reality Check: She argued that instead of stopping alcoholism, the ban has only led to a "home delivery" culture and the criminalization of the poor, while the powerful continue to profit from illegal trade.

4. "Jungle Raj" or "Officer Raj"?

Responding to the NDA’s frequent "Jungle Raj" taunts against the RJD, Rabri Devi countered by calling the current state of affairs "Officer Raj." She claimed that bureaucrats no longer listen to the public or their representatives, and the Chief Minister has lost control over his own administration.

5. A Call for Accountability

Rabri Devi concluded her address by demanding an immediate high-level probe into the recent student suicides and a white paper on the government's steps to prevent paper leaks. With the Bihar Assembly elections drawing closer, her aggressive stance signals a heated political season ahead, focusing on the youth and "Jan Aakrosh" (public anger).
