Lalu Prasad takes vulgar jibe at Nitish Kumar's women's rally

RJD chief Lalu Yadav rekes up two controversies. On the INDIA bloc's leadership, Lalu Yadav said that Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee should be given the position. About Nitish Kumar’s Mahila Samwad Yatra, he said that they are going to "letch at women." This remark came as Nitish Kumar announced plans to launch the Mahila Samwad Yatra, a state initiative aimed at directly engaging with women.“Congress's objection means nothing. We will support Mamata... Mamata Banerjee should be given the leadership (of the INDIA. bloc),” Yadav said.

His remark came as Nitish Kumar announced plans to launch the Mahila Samwad Yatra, a state initiative aimed at directly engaging with women.Rajiv Ranjan, a senior leader of the Janata Dal (United), strongly criticised Lalu Yadav's comments on Nitish Kumar's women rally. Ranjan said, "Lalu must not know how the people of Bihar tolerated him in the past. These are people with a deplorable mindset. Their true character has now been revealed."
Samrat Chaudhary, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister, also condemned Lalu Yadav’s remarks. Describing them as "unfortunate", Chaudhary said that the use of such language raises concern. "Lalu Yadav should consider going to a hospital," Chaudhary said, suggesting that the former leader's mental state had deteriorated."Laluji is on the last stage... he is unable to understand things and say anything," said Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha.
Priyanka Chaturvedi, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena MP, also criticised Lalu Yadav’s remarks about Nitish Kumar’s women's rally, labelling them as "sexist." Chaturvedi said, "This is a sexist comment. Even Lalu’s own family members might advise him to refrain from making such statements."
Nitish Kumar's 'Mahila Samvad Yatra,' set to begin on December 15, aims to review the progress of the government’s 7-Resolves programme while engaging with women across the state to gauge their concerns and strengthen their participation in governance.
