Bihar's Anti-Encroachment Drive Sparks Political Row

The Bihar government is removing illegal structures and encroachments on roads, footpaths, and water bodies.

This has led to the demolition of small businesses and homes, affecting many poor residents.

The opposition parties, like RJD and Congress, are criticizing the government for not having a proper rehabilitation plan and for targeting the poor.

The government says they are following court orders and will provide temporary shelters and rehabilitation.

The drive has sparked a political row, with the opposition comparing it to the 'bulldozer model' used in Uttar Pradesh.

Residents are worried about their livelihoods and where they will go after the demolitions.
