In a no-nonsense address to the media in Patna, Bihar Deputy CM Vijay Sinha ramped up his war on land encroachment and bureaucratic graft. On Friday, he laid down the law for land mafias and complicit officials: reform immediately or prepare for relentless prosecution.
Sinha, who doubles as Revenue and Land Reforms Minister, shared his fearless backstory. ‘I fought elections facing down criminals head-on and won,’ he said, crediting that grit for his current crusade against land sharks, brokers, and dishonest staff in the revenue machinery.
Inspired by Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s principles, Sinha vowed zero tolerance. He singled out departmental insiders who hinder anti-mafia drives, calling them enablers who will soon taste justice. No exceptions.
‘Public-serving honest bureaucrats are safe,’ he clarified. But collaborators will be dealt with harshly. Suspensions await errant circle officers and peers during ongoing public grievance forums on land issues.
Every step will rest on solid proof, Sinha promised, underlining the drive’s goal: a clean, responsive land system for Bihar’s people. With government backing and precise instructions to the bureaucracy, he asserted that evildoers have nowhere to hide. This aggressive stance marks a pivotal shift in tackling one of Bihar’s most entrenched problems.
