Nitish Kumar Faces Backlash from Rabri Devi Over Disrespectful Comments
NEW DELHI: In a recent uproar in the Bihar Assembly, RJD MLC Rabri Devi launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing him of disrespecting women and allegedly consuming ‘bhang’ (an intoxicating substance) before attending the assembly session. This outburst follows a series of inflammatory remarks made by Kumar regarding Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi.
Allegations and Accusations
Rabri Devi, a former Chief Minister of Bihar, staged a walkout with other RJD MLAs, expressing her discontent with Kumar’s language and demeanor. She stated, “Nitish Kumar consumes ‘bhang’ and comes to the Assembly. He disrespects the women, including me.” Her comments highlight growing tensions within the political landscape of Bihar.
Context of the Controversy
This incident comes shortly after Nitish Kumar’s troubling choice of words directed at Rabri Devi, where he insinuated her rise to power was merely a result of her husband’s political downfall. Kumar remarked, “When her husband began to sink, he installed his wife (in the CM’s post).” Such remarks have sparked outrage and criticism from various quarters, including Rabri’s son and RJD leader, Tejashwi Yadav, who emphasized Rabri Devi’s status as Bihar’s first female CM.
Political Landscape of Bihar
The heated exchanges in the assembly are reflective of the ongoing power struggle between the RJD and Nitish Kumar’s party, the Janata Dal (United). Tejashwi Yadav has asserted that Kumar’s deteriorating health may be affecting his ability to lead Bihar effectively.
