The incident triggered sharp reactions from Opposition parties, particularly the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), both of which raised serious allegations against the chief minister based on the visuals circulated on social media.

Congress Alleges Misconduct

Reacting to the video, the Congress accused Nitish Kumar of inappropriate conduct towards a woman official. In a post on X, the party claimed that the doctor had approached the stage only to collect her appointment letter when the chief minister allegedly pulled off her hijab. The Congress described the act as “shameless” and questioned the safety of women in Bihar under his leadership.

The party further stated that a person occupying the highest executive position in the state should not engage in such conduct.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal also targeted the chief minister over the incident. In a post on X, the party questioned Nitish Kumar’s mental condition, asking whether his state of mind had become “completely pitiable”.
