Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (November 8) sharply criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his controversial statement on population control, and he also questioned the silence of the INDI bloc, a coalition of opposition parties. PM Modi made these comments during a rally in Guna, Madhya Pradesh.
PM Modi referred to Nitish Kumar's remarks and said, "A prominent leader of the INDI alliance, the 'Ghamandiya Gathbandhan,' used inappropriate language about women inside the assembly yesterday. They have no shame. Not a single leader of the INDI alliance has spoken out against it. People who harbor such views about women, can they work for the betterment of the people?"

PM Modi responded by saying, "Should I be afraid of Congress? I want to tell them that they can go to any court in the world to stop me, but I make decisions in the court of the public."
