It feels like we haven't even fully recovered from the shock of the recent NEET student case, and now, another heartbreaking piece of news has come out of Patna. A female student living in a hostel has been found dead under suspicious circumstances. It’s the kind of news that makes every parent with a child studying away from home shiver with fear.While the police are investigating the matter, the political temperature in Bihar has shot up immediately. Rohini Acharya, RJD leader and daughter of Lalu Prasad Yadav, has come out swinging against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar."Stop the Celebration, Look at the State"Rohini Acharya didn't mince her words. She took to social media to express her outrage, questioning the timing of the Chief Minister's political priorities. Right now, Nitish Kumar is busy with his 'Yatra' (state tour), meeting people and showcasing development. But Rohini is asking a tough question: How can the leader of the state continue a celebratory tour when daughters are dying in the capital?She drew a chilling parallel between this new incident and the previous case involving a NEET aspirant, suggesting that Patna’s hostels are becoming unsafe zones for young women. Her demand is clear and blunt—postpone the Yatra. She believes the administration needs to stop focusing on political optics and start focusing on the collapsing law and order situation.The Question of SafetyFor students coming to Patna from small districts to chase their dreams, the city is supposed to be a place of hope. But incidents like these are turning that hope into dread. Rohini’s statement reflects the anger of many common people who feel that the government is too distracted by politics to notice the rising crime graph.She challenged the government's claim of "Sushasan" (Good Governance), essentially saying that if students aren't safe in their own rooms, the system has failed.As the investigation unfolds, the pressure is now on the administration. Will they treat this as just another file, or will there be real steps taken to ensure that no other family receives such a devastating phone call?
