"Nitish Kumar's end came the day he became new author of Kamasutra": Giriraj Singh
Dec 13, 2023
New Delhi [India], December 14 : Reacting to reports of the Bihar Chief Minister holding a rally in Varanasi later this month, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that Nitish Kumar lost whatever reputation he had on the day when he became the new author of 'Kamasutra' and gave "lecture" in the Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad.
"His (Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's) end came the day he gave lectures in Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad, insulted women and became the new author of 'Kamasutra'. That day he lost his reputation, whatever remained of it," Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, speaking to ANI on Wednesday.
The Union Minister further challenged Nitish Kumar to contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Varanasi.
"Nobody is stopped from taking out a rally, they can do it. But I urge Nitish Kumar to announce about contesting election against Narendra Modi in Varanasi if he has the courage," Giriraj said.
During the Winter Session in the Bihar Assembly, the Chief Minister invited huge criticism with his bizarre remark that women should be educated as it would enable them to avoid sexual intercourse resulting in pregnancy, which would in turn keep the population in check.
Kumar, in his address to the Assembly, claimed that the fertility rate of the state, which was earlier at 4.3 per cent, has now dropped to 2.9 per cent per a report last year.
The Chief Minister, however, was quick to apologise after facing backlash from opposition parties over his remarks.
"I would like to apologise to those whom I may have offended with my words," the Bihar CM told reporters on Wednesday.
Nitish Kumar's remarks drew outrage from the BJP as well as the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW), who demanded that he tender an unconditional apology.
