The Government Calendar Controversy has sparked a political debate in Bihar after photos of a minister’s family reportedly appeared in an official department calendar. The issue involves Bihar’s Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) minister Sanjay Singh.
Reports say calendars printed by the PHED department carried images showing the minister along with women and children believed to be his family members. The incident quickly triggered criticism from the opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which accused the minister of using government resources for personal promotion.
RJD leaders shared the calendar photo on social media and questioned why a government publication displayed family images. They argued that official materials should focus on public work rather than personal pictures.
The party also criticized the minister and said public money should not be used for such purposes. The controversy comes amid ongoing political tensions in Bihar under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
So far, the minister has not issued a detailed public response. The Government Calendar Controversy continues to draw attention in Bihar’s political circles.
