"The state government is an abject failure to check corruption and sub-standard works being carried out by the agencies in the state. There is no no necessity for Kumar to continue in office when he can't tackle the situation", RJD national spokesman Shyam Razak said in a press statement.
He was reacting to the cancellation of the jobs worth over Rs 150 crore which the state government had assigned to the Tantia Constructions Limited (TCL) for allegedly doing "sub-standard work".
Razak asked whether the state govenment and chief minister were sleeping for the past over 28 months as they had failed to notice the quality of work being done by the company.
"It is a shame that Kumar acknowledges the fact that the constructions work is of inferior quality after such a long period," he said.
