Nitish Kumar apologises amid row over sex remarks

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faced backlash for his explicit remarks in the assembly, prompting an apology from him. Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Kumar for his choice of words and accused him of insulting women. The BJP demanded Kumar's resignation, questioning his eligibility to hold office due to his "memory loss." While some politicians supported Kumar, others, including Union Power Minister R.K. Singh, condemned his remarks. The issue has escalated into a bitter political confrontation, with Kumar's party, JD(U), urging for no politics to be played over the CM's remarks.
