Thu Mar 20 19:21:01 UTC 2025: ## Bihar CM Sparks Outrage with Claim Mobile Phones Will Destroy Earth in 10 Years
**Patna, Bihar –** A heated debate erupted in the Bihar Assembly today after Chief Minister Nitish Kumar asserted that widespread mobile phone use will lead to the planet’s destruction within a decade. This controversial statement has ignited a fierce political battle, with the opposition accusing the CM of being technologically backward and out of touch with modern governance.
Kumar’s remarks came during Question Hour when a member, Kumar Krishna Mohan (Suday Yadav), was seen using his mobile phone while posing a question. The Chief Minister vehemently objected, reminding the house of the existing ban on mobile phones and demanding the offending member be expelled. He then reiterated his apocalyptic prediction, claiming that continued mobile phone use would result in global catastrophe within 10 years.
Leader of the Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, sharply criticized Kumar’s statement, labeling it “conservative and anti-technology.” He pointed out the Assembly’s own move towards paperless functioning, which ironically relies on members using mobile devices and tablets to ask supplementary questions. Yadav accused the Chief Minister of being technologically illiterate and out of sync with the needs of youth, students, and women.
The incident highlights a growing rift between the ruling alliance and the opposition, with the latter questioning Kumar’s leadership and suitability for modern governance. The debate over technology’s role in governance and Kumar’s stance is expected to dominate Bihar’s political landscape in the coming days.
