BJP Leader Bidhuri’s Bold Remark on ‘Priyanka Gandhi’s Cheeks’ Sparks Outrage and Fuels Congress Fury
BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri sparked outrage with a controversial comment about Congress’s Priyanka Gandhi, stating that if his party wins the Kalkaji assembly seat in Delhi, it would build “roads like Priyanka Gandhi’s cheeks.” This drew immediate criticism from Congress, which announced plans to file an FIR against Bidhuri. The remark, echoing a past comment by Lalu Yadav comparing roads to Hema Malini’s cheeks, led to demands for apologies from both sides. Bidhuri initially defended his statement but later expressed regret and retracted his words, suggesting that past Congress remarks should also be addressed.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva advised party members to refrain from making inappropriate comments about women. Meanwhile, Congress figures like Alka Lamba and Supriya Shrinate condemned the remarks, labeling BJP as “anti-women.” AAP leaders also criticized Bidhuri, questioning the BJP’s ability to ensure women’s safety in Delhi.
The controversy is reminiscent of previous issues surrounding Bidhuri, such as his inflammatory comments in the Lok Sabha against MP Danish Ali. Despite past controversies, the BJP is backing Bidhuri in the upcoming Delhi elections, attracting criticism from opponents who question the party’s stance on women’s issues.
