The Congress party in Bihar has raised serious concerns about the control of mafia activities in the state for the past 20 years. They have identified twelve key mafia groups involved in various crimes, claiming that looting and illegal activities are rampant across Bihar. The former Congress President in Bihar, Akhilesh Singh, emphasized that a new government under the Grand Alliance will work hard to free the state from mafia influence.

They will also focus on ensuring that no adulterated products reach the people of Bihar. The commitment is clear: the new government will take strong measures to tackle corruption and mafia activities in the state.
