RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav

Patna: Slamming the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his government over the COVID-19 situation in the state, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said that his government has "no sense of responsibility."

Last year also, I was continuously cooperating & suggesting concrete measures but CM Nitish Kumar hardly cared for such positive suggestions.

Even I had challenged him to speak on steps taken by him. Still they have no sense of responsibility. May God save our Bihar!? https://t.co/CH3SvNrnGb
