NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, led by Nitish Kumar, over the death of a minor Dalit girl, alleging negligence in her treatment at the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH).

In a post on social media website X, LoP Gandhi alleged that the "double-engine" government's negligence led to the dalit girl's death.

"The brutality against a minor Dalit girl in Muzaffarpur and the subsequent negligence in her treatment is extremely shameful. If she had received timely treatment, her life could have been saved. But the double-engine government was negligent not only in providing security but also in saving his life," he said.

The Congress leader further in his post assured that justice would be served to the victim's family.

"We will not sit quietly until the victim's family gets justice. Strict action should be taken against the culprits and negligent officers," the post read.
