Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s unusual gesture during a virtual event with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has triggered a political storm. While attending the Kaushal Deekshant Samaroh 2025 for ITI toppers, Kumar was seen sitting with folded hands and smiling for nearly a minute, prompting opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav to share the video on X, asking, “Is he looking mentally healthy?” The clip quickly went viral, drawing sharp reactions from both supporters and critics. Kumar, who has faced repeated scrutiny over his recent public behaviour, appeared calm but unusually still during the broadcast. The JD(U) leader’s gesture has reignited debate over his health and composure ahead of the upcoming Bihar assembly polls, with rivals seizing the moment to question his ability to govern effectively. Nitish Kumar Seen Laughing and Talking During National Anthem in Viral Video; RJD, Congress Lash Out at Bihar CM.
