Following his remarks on tuesday on the need for women's education in population control, bihar chief minister nitish kumar faced criticism from the opposition BJP. In his speech, Kumar emphasized the need for education for women in order to regulate the population and gave a clear explanation of how an educated woman might constrain her husband during sex.

"The husband's acts led to more births. However, with education, a woman knows how to restrain him... This is the reason the numbers (of births) are coming down," he said in a rustic style. "You, journalists also understand it well. Earlier it (fertility rate) was 4.3, but it has now reached 2.9. And, soon we will reach 2," he added.

The opposition bjp charged Kumar with "bringing shame" to the state's women by speaking of the procreation process in detail. bjp MLAs gayatri Devi and sweety Hembram told reporters that "age has caught up with the chief minister who seems to have lost all sense of propriety".

State bjp president Samrat Choudhary, who is a member of the legislative council, said, "Nitish Kumar has brought shame to 6.5 crore women of Bihar. I request him with folded hands to be mindful of his words and deeds." "This is not the first time when the CM's behaviour in public has been indiscreet. I think it will not be long before women and girls start shying away from attending his functions," he claimed.

However, deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav defended Kumar, stating that whatever he said should be seen from the right perspective. "There was nothing objectionable. These things are taught to children in schools as part of sex education," he said.

Following the state's publication of the whole report on the contentious caste survey, which detailed the economic circumstances of various sectors, nitish kumar made the comments.

The bihar chief minister is heard in a video stating that according to a data from last year, the fertility rate, which was previously 4.3%, has now decreased to 2.9%.

BJP lawmakers who are women also criticised him for his strange comments about population control in the state.

"The chief minister is speaking incoherently and is older than 70. He used a term we are unable to speak. We shall demonstrate against this, declared gayatri Devi, a bjp MLA.
