PATNA---------------------------A statement by former MP and RJD leader Sadhu Yadav has become a subject of discussion. In a conversation with a private channel, Sadhu Yadav remarked that women should not have been recruited as constables in Bihar, calling it a "wrong decision" by Nitish Kumar. He argued, "Look, let me tell you—the women who have been recruited into the police force are the reason why law and order is not being controlled. Women shouldn't be in the police force as constables. There are other fields for women—teaching, clerical work, or office-based roles. But where law and order needs to be maintained, men are required."

He further added, "When women are deployed in such roles, they are unable to maintain control. Let me be clear—listen first—I am not speaking against women. I am not against women at all. I am simply saying that there are appropriate places for women, such as offices. Their jobs should be office-based; that is where they should be recruited. It is not even appropriate to have women standing on the streets all day in uniform. This decision by Nitish Kumar—specifically the recruitment of women as constables—is wrong. It is completely wrong."

"The government should deploy women in hospitals—recruit them as nurses. Place them in offices, in clerical roles, or in the teaching and professorial professions. But the police force is not the right field for them, in my view. This is why law and order in Bihar is completely weak." Sadhu Yadav made these remarks during a conversation with a YouTuber, and the statement is now going viral on social media. In it, he expresses his disapproval of the recruitment of women into the police force.

Sadhu Yadav also mentioned, "I was the one who ensured that Naval Kishore Yadav became an MLC twice. He is saying the wrong thing." Have him say it in front of me. We gave him his first ticket back in 1996—do you follow? After that, he became an MLC. Then he became an MLC a second time, and a third time as well. This is his sixth time—that’s thirty years, isn’t it? He is a candidate for the sixth time now. This time, he is going to lose the election. He has no idea what’s coming. He is losing the election because of his own mouth. His 6,500 bogus votes have been wiped out.
