Bihar Industries Minister Shreyasi Singh, a BJP leader from Jamui, faced controversy after her comments on moral policing during a jamui molestation incident went viral. Singh claimed that her remarks were taken out of context, stating that the sequence of the discussion and her insistence that such incidents would not be tolerated reflected her position.
She defended her comments, suggesting that while people could have an opinion about others' lives, there might be a more appropriate way to express them. Singh also mentioned that the interview should be understood in its entirety, rather than from isolated statements. She emphasized that she and Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary were actively communicating with the district administration and monitoring the situation.
Singh's remarks sparked a strong response from RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, who accused Singh of suggesting that "moral policing" should be carried out in a "respectful manner" in light of recent incidents of harassment, sexual assault, drug trafficking, murder, and rape.
