In a video that has now gone viral, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was seen garlanding a woman candidate, who is contesting on an NDA ticket in the upcoming assembly elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

This has sparked fresh speculation about Nitish Kumar\u2019s \u201cmental health” with opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav once again questioning \u201csuch antics” by him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Twisting Nitish\u2019s rebuke to a close aide, who tried to stop him from garlanding the woman, Tejashwi used his own words against him. The chief minister told his aide, JD(U) working president Sanjay Jha: \u201cGajab aadmi ho, bhai<\/em> (you\u2019re a strange man).”<\/span><\/p>\n

Tejashwi, who later shared the video on X, said: \u201c<\/span>E gajab aadmi hai bhai<\/span><\/i> (you are the one who is a strange man). If he is of sound mental health, why is he reading out from a written speech and indulging in such antics?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Nitish, who launched his poll campaign in Meenapur constituency of Muzaffarpur district on Tuesday, insisted on garlanding a female NDA candidate and rebuked a close aide who tried to stop him. He left the crowd at the rally amused when he mispronounced the local party candidate, Ajay Kushwaha\u2019s name and added the prefix \u2018Shri\u2019 to Rama Nishad, the BJP candidate from Aurai.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his speech, which Tejashwi said was riddled with inconsistencies, the CM said if the public promised to vote for the NDA, he would like to garland candidates as a mark of assured victory. Nishad, who had joined the BJP last week, looked uncomfortable when he approached her with a garland.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is even more embarrassing for Nitish, considering local Hindu traditions dictate that it is improper for a woman to accept a garland around her neck from anyone other than her husband. While Jha hurriedly tried to prevent his mentor from creating a scene by catching hold of the CM\u2019s hand, the CM was not pleased with the intervention and Jha stepped back.<\/span><\/p>\n
