Nitish Kumar explained in the Assembly the significance of providing women with sex education as a means of population control.
Nitish Kumar, The CM of Bihar, was accused of employing derogatory language while explaining the role of women’s education in population control in the Assembly on Tuesday. Social media was flooded with videos of Nitish Kumar defending his position on population control, and a number of Bihar women MLAs objected to the chief minister’s language. Tejashwi Yadav, the deputy chief minister, stated that misinterpreting Nitish Kumar’s statement is incorrect. “Allow me to provide some clarification. The topic of the chief minister’s remarks pertained to sexual education. Despite the fact that this subject causes apprehension among the general public, it is taught in science and biology courses. This is what children acquire. He described the practical measures that must be taken to control the population. “This should be regarded as sex education rather than misconstrued,” Tejashwi advised.
Sharing the video on its X handle, the Bihar BJP referred to Nitish Kumar as “AslilNitish” and stated that no leader in Indian politics has ever been as profane as he is. “Nitish Kumar is the most obscene leader in the history of Indian politics.” Nitish Babu’s psyche appears to be plagued by the insect that inhabits “B” grade adult films. A public prohibition on his double-meaning dialogues is warranted. “It appears that his company has an effect on him!” the post stated.
“The Chief Minister’s remarks are nonsensical and he has surpassed the age of seventy.” He employed a term that is beyond our ability to articulate. “We, as women, will all protest,” declared Gayatri Devi, a BJP MLA.
Nivedita Singh, an MLC, questioned whether the state Assembly is an appropriate venue for sex education. Assembly is not an appropriate setting for sexual education courses. The chief minister’s explanation became extremely pragmatic. His utterance lacked any contextual information. We were all seated there to hear Nitish Kumar speak about the caste census that we had all supported. “However, he altered the entire situation, and Nitish Kumar will not tolerate even the most mild condemnation,” the MLC stated.
“The husband’s actions resulted in additional births.” However, education enables a woman to exert control over him; this is the reason for the decline in birth rates…You, as correspondents, have a thorough understanding as well. The fertility rate, which was 4.3 previously, has since decreased to 2.9. “Moreover, we will soon reach two,” Nitish Kumar elaborated.
Nitish Kumar’s vile remarks have prompted NCW to demand an apology.
Nitish Kumar’s remark was met with an urgent demand for an apology from the National Commission for Women, which deemed it a violation of the dignity of women. “On behalf of every woman in this country, the NCW demands that CM Nitish Kumar issue an immediate and unequivocal apology.” His inane remarks in the Vidhan Sabha violate the dignity and esteem that are due to every woman. The slanderous and uncivilized language he employed in his discourse tarnishes our society. In a democratic society, if a leader is capable of openly expressing such views, the state must be enduring an atrocity beyond description. “We vehemently oppose such conduct and demand responsibility,” the NCW said in a statement.
The leader of the Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal, demanded an apology from Nitish Kumar for his “disgraceful” language.

Tuesday, the Bihar assembly received the Caste Survey report, which unveiled that over one-third of Bihar’s households survive on a daily income of ₹200 or less, or a maximum monthly income of ₹6,000. On Tuesday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar declared his intention to increase quotas for Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, and Other Backward Classes in the state. He added that legislation in this regard is likely to be introduced during the ongoing assembly session.
