Mr. Kumar’s recent comments on the role of women’s education in population control, and against former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi, have embarrassed his party
Following the rows that erupted in the aftermath of his recent comments, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been maintaining safe distance from the media. On the birth anniversary of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on Tuesday, he greeted mediapersons with folded hands and a well-maintained silence.
After paying tributes to the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Patna, Mr. Kumar did not engage with the local mediapersons even after they, in local colloquialism, asked him, “kahe naraaj hain, sir? [why are you angry, sir?]”. Water Resources and Information and Public Relations Department Minister Sanjay Kumar Jha, a close confidante of Mr. Kumar, guided him away from the peering eyes of the media.
