Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar issued an apology after facing backlash for his explicit comments in the state assembly regarding the role of women's education in population control. Kumar clarified that his statements on women's education were misinterpreted, expressing regret if his words had offended anyone. The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of girls' education in reducing Bihar's fertility rate, which has dropped from 4.2 to 2.9 percent. His remarks led to protests, with BJP legislators denying him entry into the assembly initially.
