Bihar CM Nitish Kumar pulled the veil of a woman while distributing appointment letters to Ayush practitioners. Even the Deputy CM tried to stop him. He wouldn’t have done this if he were in his senses. There are several such videos of him behaving awkwardly. pic.twitter.com/M3za0FkQFe

Netizens have slammed the Bihar CM for disrespecting women and humiliating her publicly. One user said, “A newly hired doctor in full uniform comes to collect her job letter, and the CM puts his hands on her face, pulling her hijab off in front of the cameras. This is not just a case of bad manners, it is a public act of disrespect and humiliation of a woman in her moment of pride”.
Some netizens have been questioning the fitness of Nitish Kumar to hold public office and even compared him with the former US President Joe Biden. “He is the Joe Biden of Bihar. I feel bad for him. He did some good work while bringing Bihar out of Lalu’s jungle Raj. But that honeymoon period was over long ago. Since then, he just became a puppet, mostly of the BJP and sometimes of the other side.”
Lately, concerns have been raised by many about Nitish Kumar’s health during his public appearances and his capacity to hold public office.
