Patna Children Death Row: Tejashwi Yadav, LoP of Bihar Assembly and RJD leader, on Tuesday targeted the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government after a video surfaced on social media, in which state minister Mangal Pandey's convoy is seen being attacked by furious locals over the death of two children in Patna.

"In the last few days, 5-6 children have been killed in the capital Patna by breaking into their homes. Due to the poor law and order situation and lack of action by the government, people angry with the murder of two children in Patel Nagar yesterday attacked the vehicle of Health Minister Mangal Pandey. Pandey is such an insensitive, arrogant and elite minister that he considers talking to the victims as an insult to himself," the RJD leader wrote on X.
