A high-voltage drama unfolded in the Bihar Assembly on Friday as the Opposition attempted to corner Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over rising cases of violence against women in the state, prompting him to accuse the RJD of not doing anything for women’s empowerment.
He also launched a blistering attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and said that he appointed his wife, Rabri Devi, as the CM when he was jailed in 1997 in connection with the fodder scam.
The Assembly witnessed chaos for the second straight day as the Opposition legislators protested over cases of violence against women. Irked by repeated disruptions, the Chief Minister accused his former ally (RJD) of not working for women.
“When Rabri Devi’s husband (Lalu Yadav) went to jail, he made his wife the Chief Minister of Bihar. You belong to a party that has done nothing for women,” Kumar said.

Drawing the contrast, the Chief Minister said that his government works against such criminal activities. “Whenever any incident occurs in any district, we immediately speak to the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police,” he said.
