Union Minister Ramdas Athawale reacted to the derogatory remarks of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on birth control and demanded his resignation from the post of CM. The Union Minister said on Wednesday that it is our responsibility to respect women, and although the Bihar CM has apologised for his statement, there should be some action against him.

"The objectionable statement that he made regarding women is not right. It is our responsibility to respect women. He has apologised for it, but it does not work like that. There should be some action against him," Athawale said. "Such a CM should resign from his post. A chief minister is supposed to be a responsible person. He has apologised, but saying whatever you want and then apologising for it doesn't hold any value. He should resign," he added.
