Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's explicit comments on population control, emphasizing the impact of girls' education on fertility rates, have ignited controversy in the state assembly. While some, including Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, defended Kumar, several women BJP legislators condemned his remarks as vulgar and demanded a ban. The comments were made in the context of a released caste survey report detailing economic conditions. Despite calls for restraint, the Chief Minister's statements have triggered a heated debate on social norms and public discourse.
