RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav sparked controversy with a sexist comment on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Mahila Samwad Yatra. Yadav suggested the rally was a way to "letch at women." JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary condemned the remark, calling it "deplorable" and "unfortunate." The Mahila Samwad Yatra, starting December 15, aims to engage women and review Bihar’s 7-Resolves programme. Meanwhile, Yadav supported Mamata Banerjee for the INDIA bloc leadership, dismissing Congress’s objections. The Trinamool Congress is pushing for Banerjee, citing her victories over the BJP as proof of her strong leadership skills.
