Answer sought from government on AK-47 firing-
Tejashwi Yadav raised serious questions on the government regarding the alleged AK-47 firing during the student movement. He asked who had given the order to open fire on the students and how the AK-47 reached the accused jawan.

He sought answers to all these questions – from which unit or armory the weapon was issued, which officer gave permission for it and from which level the order for firing came.

'Bihar has become the capital of paper leaks'-
Tejashwi Yadav attacked the government over the continuous paper leaks in Bihar and alleged irregularities in competitive examinations. He said that employment, better education and transparent examinations have become big questions for the youth in the state.

Accusing the government of patronizing corruption, he said that the allegations of use of force against students who put forth their demands democratically are very serious.

Tejashwi Yadav demanded the Chief Minister to break his silence on the alleged firing and conduct a judicial inquiry. He said that mere transfer is not enough, but accountability of the responsible officers should be fixed.

Now the politics of Bihar has become more heated after the police action during the Raj Bhavan march. RJD has announced to continue its agitation on the issue of students, youth and unemployment.
