What has happened to Nitish ji?
Lalu Prasad Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal shared the video of the incident on social media and said, “What has happened to Nitish ji? Has his mental condition completely deteriorated, or has Nitish Babu now become a 100% Sanghi?” At the same time, the Congress party attacked the Chief Minister of Bihar, calling it a “disgusting act” and even demanded his resignation. The Congress party said, “Look at this shameless act. When a female doctor came to collect her appointment letter, Nitish Kumar pulled her hijab. If a person holding the highest position in the state behaves like this in public, then one can imagine how safe women are. This kind of misconduct is unforgivable.”
