Tejashwi Yadav, leader of the RJD party, criticized the BJP for not sending Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to visit Bihar's regions affected by both floods and droughts. He accused the BJP national president, Nitin Nabin, of lacking courage to make such a visit. Tejashwi argued that Bihar had a BJP chief minister, eight union ministers, and 42 NDA members in Parliament, yet these leaders were ineffective.
He stated that the funds intended for disaster relief had been misused, with only a fraction of the expected rainfall received and standing crops being destroyed due to severe drought. The RJD leader also claimed that disaster victims should be the top priority for the state's treasury, expressing frustration that only a few relief camps were opened temporarily before being shut down due to a lack of funds.
Tejashwi demanded that the ruling government provide Rs 15,000 to each flood victim immediately, conduct a survey of affected farmers, and provide compensation as soon as possible.
