Bihar CM Nitish must apologise for his insult to Rabri: Tejashwi
In a recent controversy, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has landed himself in a sticky situation after making a remark against former Chief Minister Rabri Devi. The remark, which has been widely condemned, was made during a public event where Kumar told Rabri, “RJD is not yours but that of your husband.” The comment has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling it an insult to women.
Reacting to Kumar’s comment, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has demanded an apology from the Chief Minister. Yadav, who is the son of Rabri Devi and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, took to social media to express his sentiments.
“Such objectionable language, misbehaviour, rude conduct and insult by the CM is a gross insult to women,” Yadav tweeted. “Nitish Kumar’s statement is a clear attempt to demean and belittle Rabri Devi’s role in the RJD. We demand an apology from the Chief Minister for this unacceptable behavior.”
Yadav’s statement is not just a personal attack on Kumar, but also a reflection of the growing frustration among the people of Bihar with the Chief Minister’s leadership. Kumar has been facing criticism for his handling of various issues, including the economy, law and order, and governance.
Kumar’s remark against Rabri Devi is seen as a desperate attempt to divert attention from his own failures. By targeting Rabri, Kumar is trying to create a wedge between her and her party, the RJD. However, this tactic is unlikely to work, as Rabri is widely respected in Bihar for her courage and conviction.
Rabri Devi has been a key figure in Bihar politics for decades, serving as Chief Minister from 1997 to 2005. She has been a vocal critic of Kumar’s government, and has been instrumental in keeping the RJD relevant in state politics.
Kumar’s remark against Rabri Devi is also seen as a reflection of the patriarchal mindset that is prevalent in Indian society. Women are often reduced to their relationships with men, and are denied respect and dignity. Kumar’s comment is a classic example of this, as he is trying to diminish Rabri’s role in the RJD by linking it to her husband.
The RJD has been at the forefront of the women’s empowerment movement in Bihar, and has been advocating for women’s rights and dignity. Rabri Devi has been a key figure in this movement, and has worked tirelessly to promote the cause of women’s empowerment.
In conclusion, Kumar’s remark against Rabri Devi is unacceptable and must be apologised for. It is a gross insult to women, and reflects badly on the Chief Minister’s leadership. The people of Bihar are tired of Kumar’s divisive politics, and are demanding a change. The RJD is committed to promoting women’s empowerment and dignity, and will continue to work towards this goal.
