BJP Leader Ramesh Bidhuri’s Sexist Remark On Priyanka Gandhi Sparks Row

New Delhi:

BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri’s sexist remark against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi is the latest flashpoint between the two political parties. In an undated video, Mr Bidhuri can be seen making a controversial statement about Ms Gandhi while talking about his party’s poll promises ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled likely next month.

Mr Bidhuri is BJP’s pick to take on Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi for the Kalkaji constituency. 

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate strongly criticised Mr Bidhuri, terming his remarks as “shameful” and accusing the BJP of harbouring an “anti-women” mindset. “Ramesh Bidhuri’s statement regarding Priyanka Gandhi is not only shameful but also shows his disgusting mentality towards women. But what else can be expected from a man who used foul language against his fellow MP in the House and did not receive any punishment? This is the real face of BJP,” Ms Shrinate said in a statement.
