Nitish Kumar was talking about sex education, nothing else: Deputy CM clarifies amid controversy

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has come under scrutiny and faced allegations of using derogatory language in the state's legislative assembly while explaining the significance of women's education in population control. The controversy erupted as a video of Kumar's speech went viral on social media, prompting objections from several women MLAs in Bihar.

In response to the controversy, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav clarified that Nitish Kumar's intention was to discuss sex education and practical steps for population control. Tejashwi emphasized that the statements should not be misinterpreted, but viewed as a part of sex education.

The controversy over Nitish Kumar's remarks has elicited strong reactions from political figures, with BJP MLA Gayatri Devi expressing her protest against the Chief Minister's comments. The Bihar BJP criticized Kumar's language, referring to it as inappropriate for Indian politics, and called for a ban on his "double-meaning dialogues." The incident has raised questions about the use of explicit language in public discourse and its implications.
