There was an uproar in the Bihar Assembly on Friday (February 20, 2026) over the word Brahminist mentality. CPI(ML) MLA Sandeep Saurabh, under the adjournment motion in the Assembly, demanded the Bihar government to implement the UGC Equity Act. During this, he used the word Brahminist mentality which enraged BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha.

In fact, Sandeep Saurabh said that it is necessary to implement this rule to eliminate caste discrimination in higher educational institutions. Sandeep Saurabh said that caste-based incidents keep coming to light from universities and higher educational institutions across the country including Bihar. The institutional murders of Rohit Vemula of Hyderabad Central University in 2016, Payal of Medical College, Mumbai in 2019, Darshan Solanki of IIT Mumbai in 2023, etc. are visible examples of caste discrimination and harassment on campuses.

Sandeep Saurabh said that according to the report given by the UGC to the Supreme Court and the Parliamentary panel, there has been a 118 percent increase in incidents of caste-based harassment in higher educational institutions from 2019 to 2024. He said that after the movements sponsored by Brahminist mentality, it (UGC Act) was postponed by the Supreme Court.

‘Want to dilute the poison of casteism…’

On hearing the word Brahministic mentality, ruling party MLA Vijay Kumar Sinha got enraged. Deputy CM Vijay Sinha said that you people want to dilute the poison of casteism. Want to weaken the nation. Why are you using such words? It reflects your thinking.

He said that I had also gone to study in the Technical College of Muzaffarpur. I am a Bhumihar Brahmin. Even after this I was ragged. I was thrown out of the hostel. Vijay Sinha said that people holding constitutional posts are raising questions on the decisions of the constitutional institution. We respect every society. Seeing the increasing uproar, Speaker Prem Kumar said that the word Brahmin should be removed from the proceedings.

Budget session is going on in Bihar. In such a situation, a heated debate is going on inside the House between the leaders of the party and the opposition. On Tuesday (February 10, 2026), JDU MLA Shyam Rajak reacted to an altercation between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Rabri Devi. He replied by describing the brother-in-law and sister-in-law relationship between Nitish Kumar and Rabri Devi.

Shyam Rajak said, “Look, there is a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law… It is also the month of Magh, so it is not appropriate for anyone else to comment on the spat between brother-in-law and brother-in-law. It is okay… crimes have not increased, some incidents have happened, it is being controlled. When the sister-in-law says something, it is the brother-in-law’s job to say something.”

Opposition walked out of the House

On the other hand, the opposition walked out of the House on Tuesday, cornering the government on the issue of deteriorating law and order. RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said that the way Chief Minister Nitish Kumar misbehaved with Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Rabri Devi is an insult to a woman. This is inexcusable. The way the Chief Minister has used indecent language for Rabri Devi, the Chief Minister should first treat himself. They should take medicine on time.

Brother Virendra said, “The way Nitish Kumar is insulting the women of Bihar, it will not be tolerated. The way the Chief Minister has used indecent language and insulted the leaders of the opposition party in both the Houses… the Chief Minister should immediately apologize in the House itself.”

CPI(ML) MLA Sandeep Saurabh said that killing 10,000 people before the elections and murder-rape after the elections will not work. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar insulted Bihar’s first Chief Minister Rabri Devi in ​​the House yesterday (Monday). A few days ago, he was trying to pull the hijab of a Muslim female doctor, so somehow the mental balance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is disturbed.
