RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav is facing severe backlash for making a lewd comment during a rally organized by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, which was aimed at empowering women. Lalu's remark, “Nayan sekne ja rahe hain” (They are going to make eyes at the rally), was directed at the women attending the rally, and it quickly became the subject of public controversy.
The comment was made in the presence of party workers and leaders, but it has raised serious concerns over his choice of words, particularly given the context of a women’s empowerment event. Opposition leaders and social activists have condemned the statement, calling it inappropriate and disrespectful toward women.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has been vocal about improving the status of women in the state, has not yet publicly responded to Lalu's comment. However, the incident has triggered a wider debate about the culture of political discourse and the need for greater respect toward women in public forums.
The comment has also ignited a wave of criticism within the opposition, with leaders accusing Lalu Prasad of undermining the very cause he claims to support. Social media platforms were flooded with reactions, with many calling for accountability and an apology from Lalu.
As the controversy continues to unfold, Lalu Prasad’s remarks have once again brought attention to the challenges of ensuring respect for women in political rhetoric, even among those advocating for their rights.
