Row erupts after RJD chief's sexist remark on Bihar CM's poll exercise

In a press interaction, Prasad took a swipe at Kumar and made a derogatory comment about the chief minister and women. The 75-year-old former chief minister also made light of Kumar's claim that the ruling National Democratic Alliance will win 225 out of 243 seats in assembly elections scheduled late next year. The comments drew condemnation from the BJP and JD(U) with deputy chief ministers, Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, both from the BJP, describing the statement as highly objectionable and vulgar.
