Opposition parties in Bihar have demanded the resignation of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary following allegations of molestation in Jamui, citing a 'maha goonda raj' scenario.
Opposition parties in Bihar have called for the resignation of Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary after a molestation case surfaced in Jamui district. The complaint, lodged by a 19‑year‑old woman, alleges that a senior police officer assaulted her, and critics say the CM’s office failed to act swiftly.
The incident has been framed by opposition leaders as evidence of a broader culture of impunity, with the phrase "maha goonda raj" used to describe the perceived lack of accountability. They have demanded a thorough investigation and immediate removal of the CM from office.
Samrat Choudhary’s party has defended the chief minister, stating that the allegations are politically motivated and that his administration has taken steps to address law and order in the state. The party has also called for the case to be handled by the appropriate judicial authorities.
The controversy has intensified political tensions in Bihar, with opposition lawmakers urging the state assembly to consider a no‑confidence motion against the CM.
