Nitish Kumar's Cap & Tilak Advice Sparks Political Firestorm in Bihar

• CM Nitish Kumar asked RJD MLC Abdul Bari Siddiqui to remove his cap in the Legislative Council, sparking a political controversy.
• Siddiqui complied, stating, "Your command is my command," but the incident quickly went viral and became a political issue.
• Opposition parties link this to Nitish Kumar's alliance with BJP, suggesting a shift in his political stance.
• Past incidents include Nitish refusing a tilak in Sitamarhi (2025) and a Muslim cap at a madrasa event in Patna (2025).
• The controversy revives Nitish's 2013 statement about wearing caps and applying tilaks, contrasting with Narendra Modi's 2011 refusal of a skull cap.
