The RJD leader also condemned the government's handling of school examinations, citing the tragic death of a Class 10 student, who was denied entry to her board exam for arriving late and later died by suicide. Yadav urges the government to adopt a more humanitarian approach, allowing marginally late students to sit exams, saying, "No rule can be more valuable than a child's life".

He claimed incidents of extortion, murder, and sexual assault are rising, and ordinary citizens are living in fear. Yadav accuses Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of losing control and weakening his authority by handing over the Home Department to the BJP.

The student was delayed by traffic congestion and arrived 10 minutes after the reporting time, but was refused entry despite pleading with officials, claimed Yadav.

Yadav blamed the government for administrative insensitivity and highlighted persistent issues with traffic management and exam coordination. Bihar Education Minister Sunil Kumar has promised to review the incident and consider more flexible rules for late students.

The opposition, led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has been protesting in the Bihar Assembly, alleging rising crime rates and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's silence on the matter.
