Bihar Assembly Sparks War of Words Over Nitish Kumar's Alleged Misconduct

Rabri Devi accused Bihar CM Nitish Kumar of disrespecting women and consuming 'bhaang' before assembly. LJP MP Shambhavi Chaudhary defended Kumar, urging careful word choice. The session erupted into chaos with RJD's resignation demand and allegations of dynastic politics, prompting heated exchanges between opposing factions.

In a fiery exchange during a recent Bihar Assembly session, former Chief Minister Rabri Devi accused current CM Nitish Kumar of disrespecting women and consuming 'bhaang' before attending meetings. LJP MP Shambhavi Chaudhary swiftly countered, condemning Devi's 'unparliamentary language' and defending Kumar's record on women's issues.

The tension escalated as RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Rabri Devi's son, joined the fray, demanding Nitish Kumar's resignation. Yadav claimed that Kumar's governance is unstable and blamed him for allegedly squandering the future of Bihar's residents. The RJD party staged a walkout, criticizing Nitish Kumar and the ruling NDA for perceived disrespect toward women, including Rabri Devi.

The heated session also saw Nitish Kumar accuse RJD of engaging in dynastic politics, recalling how Lalu Prasad Yadav appointed his wife as CM in 1997 following his corruption scandal. This political row underscores the deep divisions within Bihar's assembly, as accusations and recriminations fly across party lines.
