Fri Mar 07 09:47:10 UTC 2025: ## Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Engages in Heated Exchange with Opposition MLCS
**Patna, Bihar – March 7, 2025** – Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar engaged in a heated exchange with opposition RJD members in the State Legislative Council today, sparking controversy. The argument erupted after RJD MLC Urmila Thakur highlighted the insufficient number of girls’ schools in her Begusarai district, citing instances where girls must walk several kilometers to attend school.
CM Kumar reacted angrily to Thakur’s concerns, claiming his government had significantly improved girls’ education in Bihar. He further criticized the opposition RJD, specifically targeting former Chief Minister Rabri Devi, for their alleged lack of contribution to women’s welfare. Kumar’s comments were seen as disrespectful by several opposition members, with RJD MLC Munni Devi Rajak asserting their right to question the government.
The exchange escalated, with Kumar launching a personal attack on Rabri Devi, referencing her husband Lalu Prasad’s past. This prompted another RJD MLC, Sunil Kumar Singh, to request that the Chairman expunge the CM’s remarks from the record, citing their disrespectful nature. However, the Chairman ruled against expunction, stating the comments were not unparliamentary. The heated debate eventually subsided after the Chairman intervened. The incident has ignited a political firestorm in Bihar, with the opposition condemning Kumar’s behavior.
