'Nayan sekne ja rahe hain': Lalu Prasad Yadav passes lewd comment on CM Nitish Kumar's women rally

RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav sparked controversy with sexist remarks about Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's upcoming women's rally. Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha criticised Yadav's comments as inappropriate. Meanwhile, Yadav expressed support for Mamata Banerjee leading the INDIA bloc and predicted his party's victory in the 2025 elections.

NEW DELHI: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday made sexist remarks on Nitish Kumar 's upcoming women's rally , stating that the Bihar chief minister was attending the statewide yatra to "ogle at women." When asked about Nitish's ' Mahila Samvad Yatra ' slated for mid-December, the former Bihar chief minister Lalu Yadav told reporters, "Nayan sekne ja rahe hain." Reacting to Lalu's comment, Bihar deputy chief minister Vijay Kumar Sinha said, "Laluji is on the last stage.

He is unable to understand things and says anything." "Such language does not suit a person sitting on a constitutional position. These people have defamed Bihar.

Bihar wants to be free from such people," he added. In a separate response deputy CM Samrat Choudhary said, "Lalu Prasad's statement is extremely unfortunate. Bihar CM Nitish Kumar is going to have a conversation with the women of Bihar and the type of words Lalu Prasad has used, we knew that he is physically ill but now we can say that he is also mentally ill.

He needs to be treated." The state cabinet has approved a budget of Rs 225.78 crore for organizing the ‘Mahila Samvad Yatra’ program across Bihar, focusing on themes of women's empowerment under chief minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The "Mahila Samvad" initiative, proposed by the rural development department, is seen as significant ahead of next year’s state Assembly elections, as it will facilitate the Chief Minister’s direct interaction with women on issues impacting their lives. The former Bihar CM also reacted on Mamata Banerjee's willingness to lead INDIA bloc stating that, "Congress's objection means nothing. We will support Mamata.

Mamata Banerjee should be given the leadership (of the INDIA Bloc)." "We will form the government again in 2025," he added. Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata had earlier said that, "I formed the INDIA alliance.

Those who don’t like me will always find faults. They may not like me..

. But if I were given the responsibility. However, I don’t want it.

I don’t want to leave Bengal. I was born here, and I will take my last breath here because I love Bengal so much. But I believe that I can manage this even from here.
