Yadav reiterated Kumar is a tired man unable to handle the situation anymore.

Singh was shot dead outside his residence in Patna on Tuesday.

Yadav said they want the killers of Singh to be arrested immediately. “...the rising incidents of murder, rape, kidnapping, and extortion has only vindicated my perception about the chief minister that he has become a tired man and unable to handle Bihar. We want the chief minister to immediately hand over the home department to somebody else.”

Yadav cited the growing crimes and referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi jungle raj jibes at the former’s party during its rule in Bihar. “Now I want to ask the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party]: who is the Maharaja of Mahajungle raj in Bihar.”
