Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the incident of setting fire to the houses of Dalits in Nawada, Bihar. The Congress President alleged that this is another proof of the jungle raj of the “double engine government”. In Bihar’s Nawada, around 7 pm on Wednesday evening, the police received information that 40-50 houses were set on fire in the Krishna Nagar Dalit Basti located near Narora.
What did Congress President Kharge write on X
Kharge posted ‘X’, “The terror of goons on Mahadalit Tola in Nawada, Bihar is another proof of the jungle raj of the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) ‘double engine government’. It is highly condemnable that about 100 Dalit houses were set on fire, firing was done and everything of the poor families was snatched away in the darkness of the night.” He alleged that the extreme indifference towards Dalits and deprived, criminal neglect and promotion of anti-social elements is now at its peak.
Rahul Gandhi’s question to the government
Rahul Gandhi wrote on Twitter that burning down the entire colony of Mahadalits in Nawada and destroying the houses of more than 80 families is exposing the horrifying picture of injustice against the Bahujans in Bihar. The cries of these Dalit families who have lost their homes and property and the terror created in the deprived society by the echo of the fierce firing have also not been able to wake up the sleeping government of Bihar.

Rahul said that such anarchist elements find shelter under the leadership of BJP and NDA allies – they intimidate and suppress the Bahujans of India so that they cannot even demand their social and constitutional rights and the Prime Minister’s silence is a stamp of approval on this big conspiracy. The Bihar government and the state police should take immediate and strict action against all the culprits of this shameful crime and provide complete justice to the victim families by rehabilitating them.
Mayawati and Tejashwi Yadav surrounded the Nitish government
Regarding this incident, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati also wrote on Instagram that the incident of burning many houses of poor Dalits to ashes and ruining their lives by the goons in Nawada, Bihar is very sad and serious. The government should take strict legal action against the culprits and also provide full financial help for the rehabilitation of the victims. At the same time, former Deputy CM of Bihar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that Maha Jungle Raj! Maha Danav Raj! Maha Rakshasa Raj! More than 100 houses of Dalits were set on fire in Nawada. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is careless, NDA allies are unaware! The poor are burnt, die – what do they care? Atrocities on Dalits will not be tolerated.

There was a stir even among the top officials
As soon as the information of fire in the colony was received, there was panic among the top officials. SP-DM reached the spot in a hurry. People told that along with setting fire, firing was also done. Considering the seriousness of the situation, all the things started being investigated one by one. After investigation late at night, the officials told that the houses of a total of 21 families have caught fire. If any other family comes forward, then this number can increase even more. However, it is a matter of good fortune that no death has been reported so far. At present, the matter of firing is not being considered confirmed yet. The reason is that no shell has been recovered from the spot. However, the survey team is still investigating. It will be known later whether firing took place or not.
What is the matter?
The DM said that there is a dispute over the land occupied by Dalit families. These Dalit families are in a dispute with the other party over the possession of the land. The matter is being taken up with the administrative authorities. The victim families allege that the goons suddenly attacked them on Wednesday evening. Their houses were set on fire along with assault. It is alleged that firing was also done. Zonal Officer Vikesh Kumar said that after receiving information about the fire, the fire brigade has been sent, and an investigation is being conducted about the plot on which the dispute has taken place.
