After derogatory language against women, NCW issues statement against Bihar CM

On Bihar CM Nitish Kumar's statement, Chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW) says, "NCW on behalf of every woman in this country demand an immediate and unequivocal apology from CM Nitish Kumar. His crass remarks in the Vidhan Sabha are an affront to the dignity and respect that every woman deserves. Such derogatory and cheap language used during his speech is a dark stain on our society. If a leader can make such comments so openly in a democracy, one can only imagine the horror the state must be enduring under his leadership. We stand firm against such behaviour and call for accountability."

BRS, Cong not different, but 2 sides of the same coin, says PM Modi

Terming the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led government in Telangana and the Congress as "anti-Backward Class (BC)," Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said there are three things common in the DNA of the grand old party and the BRS- dynastic rule, corruption and appeasement. Speaking at "BC Atma Gourava Sabha" (backward classes self-respect meeting) at the LB Stadium here, Modi appealed to people saying that there is a need to throw out the "anti-BC government" in Telangana, in the November 30 Assembly polls. The Congress and the BRS with a dynastic nature will never make a Backward Classes leader the chief minister of Telangana, Modi alleged. He said Congress is a "C" team of the BRS and both have the same DNA.
