A major political controversy has broken out in Patna. RJD MP Sudhakar Singh has launched a sharp offensive against senior IAS officer Anand Kishore and the Bihar government, with the Rishu Shri case at the center of his attack. Singh alleged that the years of large-scale corruption in Bihar's education department were rooted in Anand Kishore's tenure, and that it was Kishore himself who first facilitated a government tender for Rishu Shri. No official response was forthcoming from the concerned officials or the state government.
Singh Calls Anand Kishore the Biggest Mafia in Bihar
Speaking directly to the media, Sudhakar Singh was unsparing in his charge. He said that Anand Kishore is the biggest mafia in Bihar and alleged that this IAS officer played a central role in systematically destroying the state's education system and establishing a sprawling network of corruption. Singh claimed that over the past 10 years, several examinations conducted across the state were marred by widespread irregularities, and that high-profile incidents like the topper scam were products of this very system.
The First Government Tender to Rishu Shri
Sudhakar Singh made a pointed allegation about the Rishu Shri controversy. He claimed that it was Anand Kishore who first facilitated a government tender for Rishu Shri, and that this single contract became the entry point for a cascade of financial irregularities within the education department. Singh, however, did not produce any documents in public to substantiate these charges.
Then Chief Secretary Deepak Kumar and Nine IAS Officers in the Crosshairs
The RJD MP did not stop at Anand Kishore. He also leveled serious allegations against Deepak Kumar, the then Chief Secretary of Bihar, saying that Anand Kishore was allegedly operating under Kumar's patronage. Singh went further to demand that the roles of nine IAS officers, including Anand Kishore, be subjected to a fair and thorough investigation.
Billions and Trillions Allegedly Siphoned Off, Money Invested Abroad
Singh also alleged that Anand Kishore was behind a corruption scheme involving billions and trillions of rupees, with the money allegedly invested in foreign countries. He said that if the government wishes to challenge him in court, it is free to do so, as he claims to possess sufficient evidence to back up his allegations.
A Fodder Scam-Style Court-Monitored Inquiry Is the Only Answer, Says Singh
Sudhakar Singh called for the entire matter to be investigated under court supervision, drawing a direct parallel with the way the fodder scam was handled. He argued that only a court-monitored inquiry can bring the full truth to light and ensure that those responsible are held accountable. Singh added that complaints about corruption and irregularities in Bihar's education system have been piling up for years, yet the government has continued to shield the culpable rather than act firmly against them. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, neither the concerned officials nor the Bihar state government issued any official response.
