Opposition's allegations

Rohini Acharya targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and said that his "mental health" does not seem to be good. She alleged that the Chief Minister behaved contrary to his dignity during the national anthem. Apart from this, she expressed concern about the strange gestures made by Nitish Kumar in the House, inconsistent actions on public forums and the use of indecent language at times.

Rabri Devi also reacted on this issue and advised Nitish Kumar to resign from the post of Chief Minister and hand over the throne to his son Nishant Kumar. She said that if her husband Lalu Yadav had done the same thing, the situation would have been different.

Tejashwi Yadav's reaction

RJD leader and Leader of Opposition in Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Yadav also made serious allegations against the Chief Minister. He said that the Chief Minister has insulted the entire state and his act has brought shame to the people of Bihar. He raised the question why the BJP and both the Deputy Chief Ministers of the state are silent on this matter.

Tejashwi also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that "PM Modi's beloved Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has brought shame to the Biharis. This is the first time that a Chief Minister has insulted the national anthem." He demanded that the Chief Minister should apologize to the people of the country.

Uproar in the Assembly

The opposition protested strongly in the assembly on this issue and reached the well and raised slogans. The opposition demanded a debate on the issue and said that action should be taken against the Chief Minister. In view of the uproar, the proceedings of the Assembly were adjourned till 2 pm.

Controversy over laughter during national anthem

It was seen in the viral video that during a government program in Patna, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was seen laughing during the national anthem. He called a person present near him, which also made him uncomfortable. This video is becoming increasingly viral on social media and now it has become a big issue in the House as well.

Conclusion

This controversy has brought a new twist in Bihar politics. While the opposition is seeing it as the insensitivity and insulting behavior of the Chief Minister, there has been no concrete response from the government so far. Now it remains to be seen what impact this political turmoil has in the future and what explanation Chief Minister Nitish Kumar gives on this.
