In a recent statement from Patna, Bihar, Congress MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh called on the government to take a more proactive approach in assisting flood victims. Singh expressed frustration over what he described as a "double-engine government," which claims to represent the public yet appears to be failing in its duties during times of crisis.

Singh remarked, "We urge the government to be 'pro-active' and come forward to help the flood victims. Here is a double-engine government, citing which votes are taken from the public, but what has happened now?"

The criticism was further directed at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who recently inspected flood-affected areas. Singh questioned the efficacy of Kumar’s leadership, stating, "What is a chief minister for?... This is the duty of the chief minister which he cannot escape... If he (Nitish Kumar) does not work even during a calamity, then what is he the chief minister for?"

Singh's remarks highlight growing concerns over the government’s response to the floods in Bihar, emphasizing the need for timely and effective action to support those affected by the disaster. As the situation develops, the pressure is on the state government to address the needs of its citizens in the face of adversity.
