In an unanticipated twist throughout his election project kick-off, Bihar’s Chief Minister Nitish Kumar stimulated debate by selecting to embellish a female prospect with a garland, opposing regional customs. His assistant’s effort to discourage him was quickly turned down, raising eyebrows and sparking conversations about the Chief Minister’s frame of mind.
Muzaffarpur: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar generated fresh speculations about his psychological health on Tuesday when he demanded garlanding a female NDA prospect and checked off a close assistant who attempted to stop him.
The JD(U) supremo introduced his assembly survey project in Meenapur constituency of Muzaffarpur district, where he had the crowds in divides for mispronouncing regional celebration prospect Ajay Kushwaha’s name and including the prefix “Shri” to Rama Nishad, the BJP prospect from Aurai.
The 75-year-old stated throughout his speech that if the general public assured to elect the NDA, he wants to put garlands around the necks of prospects as a mark of ensured triumph.
Nishad, who had actually signed up with the BJP recently, was seen squirming when Kumar moved towards her with a garland in his hand.
In regional Hindu customs, a female can not let anybody other than her partner put a garland around her neck.
Kumar’s close assistant, Sanjay Kumar Jha, the JD(U)’s working president, fast attempted to avoid his coach from producing a scene by seizing the CM’s hand.
Noticing that Kumar was not taking kindly to the intervention, Jha withdrawed his actions, and the septuagenarian blurted “you are a strange man” before putting the garland around the neck of Nishad.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav shared the video on his X manage with the remark, “He is a strange man indeed. If he is in sound mental health, why is he reading out from a written speech and indulging in such behaviour?”
