Bihar Politics News: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Wednesday (March 12) intensified his attack against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and accused him of insulting women with his comments and “pornographic gestures” in the assembly. Rabri Devi, wife of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and former CM of Bihar Rabri Devi, along with other RJD MLAs, attacked Nitish Kumar. He alleged that Nitish Kumar consumes drugs before entering the assembly.
Rabri Devi on Wednesday, while intensifying the attack on Nitish Kumar, accused the Chief Minister of Bihar of drinking cannabis before attending the assembly session. Rabri Devi has accused Nitish Kumar of insulting her. The RJD leader also accused Nitish of insulting women and demanded his resignation.
Rabri Devi told the news agency ANI, “Nitish Kumar comes to the assembly by drinking cannabis. He insults women, in which I join them, they insult us. They should see what kind of work we did when we were in power. The people around him say what they say. The members of their own party and some BJP leaders are asking them to say such things.”
Rabri’s son and former Deputy CM of Bihar Tejashwi Yadav also demanded Nitish Kumar’s resignation. He said, “Nitish Kumar should resign himself … even before him, my father (Lalu Yadav) has become an MP. He could not become CM without our support letter … He should not go to the ashram, because he cannot run the government. What they are doing with the future of 14 crore people? Nitish Kumar’s condition is not stable.”
Earlier, Rabri Devi on Saturday criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that she made absurd comments taking credit for women’s empowerment. Rabri Devi asked, “Nitish Kumar claims that whatever is good in Bihar has been achieved since 2005, when he came to power. Did he be born in the same year?”
Continuing the attack on Nitish, he claimed, “He dare to say that girls and women did not wear clothes before they come to power in Bihar. Is this true for women of their own family?”
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had pointed to the Leader of the Opposition Rabri Devi during a sharp debate with the female members of RJD in the Legislative Council, saying that ‘her husband was drowned, he made his wife the Chief Minister.’ The use of the word ‘husband’ by Kumar was considered derogatory. Members of RJD also opposed it inside the House.

Rabri Devi first became the Chief Minister in 1997 when her husband and RJD president Lalu Prasad had to step down after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed the charge sheet in the fodder scam. On 7 March, Nitish Kumar accused RJD of dynasty politics.
