₹900 crore worth of assets were found with three engineers in Bihar, claims opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav. He accused the NDA government of widespread corruption on 25 Aug 2023. Yadav cited examples: one engineer had ₹500 crore in assets, another allegedly burned ₹10 crore cash to destroy evidence, and a third owned ₹300 crore in property. He questioned why Chief Minister Nitish Kumar frequently visits a minister whose department's engineers have amassed illegal wealth. Yadav alleged that ministers and officials are profiting from global tendering, and bribery is rampant at all levels of government, from police stations to block offices.
