In the midst of the ongoing controversy surrounding Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s comments on birth control and women’s education, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a sharp criticism against his Bihar counterpart.
Birth Control Controversy
CM Sarma asserted that Nitish Kumar has “lost his mental balance” and poses a “threat to the state”, and consequently called for his immediate removal from office due to his derogatory statements regarding population control.
“I think he (CM Nitish Kumar) has lost his mental balance. His party should remove him from the Chief Minister’s post. A Chief Minister with a lost mental balance is a threat to the state,” CM Sarma said in Madhya Pradesh.
Earlier in the week, the BJP had demanded Nitish Kumar’s resignation over his offensive remarks on birth control in the Bihar Assembly, arguing that he had “lost his mental balance”.
On Tuesday, during a discussion on caste census in the Assembly, Nitish Kumar made offensive remarks while emphasizing the importance of educating girls to control population growth in the state.
