After facing a huge backlash, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on November 08, apologised for using derogatory language in the state assembly while attempting to explain the role of education and women in population control. Kumar’s ‘sexist’ and ‘vulgar’ comments during his address at Bihar Assembly had triggered a row. During his address, CM Nitish used controversial remarks while speaking about birth control and educated women. Soon after his remarks, massive outrage erupted as several BJP leaders blasted on the CM and asked his resignation. However, Bihar Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav came to the defence of Nitish Kumar’s speech and said “Statement was about sex education.”
