    NEW DELHI: RJD leader and Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday renewed his attack on Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, accusing the NDA-led state government of favouring relatives of alliance leaders by awarding them key positions. Taking a sarcastic jibe, Yadav proposed the formation of a “Jamai Aayog” (Sons-in-law Commission) and even a “Jija Aayog” (Brothers-in-law Commission) to highlight what he called rampant nepotism.“Modi keeps talking against ‘family politics’, but he should come and see what’s happening in Bihar,” RJD leader Tejashwi told reporters. “We had earlier asked for a Special Arrangement Commission. There should be Jamai Aayog, but now, there should also be a Jija Aayog too. So many relatives are being given positions. Officers are helping their relatives adjust to the system. The Prime Minister ignores this.”Tejashwi claimed that the state government is in disarray, with leaders using their connections to appoint relatives, regardless of merit.“Everything is being done based on connections – daughter from one quota, son-in-law from another. A ‘Brothers-in-law Commission’ should be formed quickly. The chief minister is not in control. And people in his party are happy about this and doing whatever they want. They are looting Bihar,” he alleged.He also questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the issue during his visits to Bihar. “Whenever PM Modi visits Bihar, he only criticises us. But he never questions what’s happening in his own alliance. There is an RSS quota. Can the chief minister tell us how many ministers are from the RSS? In Bihar, people who lost elections are still made ministers. Some even got the post after their term ended. These same people now lecture us.RJD leader further commented on Prime Minister Modi receiving a civilian award from Cyprus this week. “He is the Prime Minister of India. Maybe that’s why he is getting the honour. But let’s talk about the real situation in the country – there’s unemployment, poverty, and rising prices. The government hasn’t done much except distribute free rations. But what about people’s homes, jobs, education, and healthcare?”
