'Karnataka to soon become Bihar-like'

It’s very abominable that a bench which represents one of the most respectable and esteemed office in the government of India can pass such an irresponsible remark.
As it is evident the comment was derogatory and judges who are law makers and preservers giving such kind of reference is distressing.
The most disheartening thing in this is how come a justice like KL Manjunath could allow such a statement to be passed in his court and then let it circulate in the media. What about checking the facts about the rate of crime in other states leave apart thinking about hurting the sentiments of the people of that state? (Bihar)
I belong to Bihar and I have visited almost half of Indian states. I agree that the condition of Bihar is bad then most of the other states but to be very honest there are states whose conditions are worse.
The crime rate in Bihar is less than that in UP and Delhi just to name a few. Then why to single out one state?
