Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faced backlash for his comments in the assembly, where he suggested that educated women should inform their husbands about safe contraceptive methods. The opposition BJP labeled his remarks as “indecent” and “offensive.” This isn’t the first instance of Nitish Kumar making controversial statements, as he previously received criticism for discussing a sensitive topic. The BJP demanded that his “ambiguous comments” be banned, while the JD(U) defended him, stating that he used clear language to convey his message.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faced criticism during a session in the assembly for his explicit description of how an “educated” married woman could convince her husband to consider a specific contraceptive method. A female minister seated behind him briefly concealed her face, and the opposition BJP strongly objected, deeming his comments “vulgar,” “derogatory,” and “double-meaning.”
While some in the assembly seethed, others squirmed, and a few even smiled. Education Minister Chandra Shekhar, sitting in the same row, appeared unfazed as Nitish continued. He also noted that Bihar’s fertility rate had decreased from 4.3% to 2.9%, coinciding with increasing literacy rates.

This wasn’t the first time Nitish had come under fire for his remarks. In March, he had drawn criticism for referencing an alleged act of bestiality during a discussion in the assembly about the behavior of “some men” who always “create a mess.”
The BJP did not let the CM’s “sex education” comments pass quietly, issuing a statement condemning him as a repeated offender. They accused Nitish of being excessively vulgar and suggested that he might be influenced by adult, B-grade films. The BJP also called for a ban on his suggestive remarks.
BJP legislator Nikki Hembram argued that Nitish’s comments implied a lack of respect for women. In contrast, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav defended Nitish, asserting that the controversy arose from rival parties misinterpreting his statements. He highlighted the importance of discussing sex education, which is now a part of the school curriculum and often a sensitive topic.
