The Bharatiya Janta Party has reacted to ♓the se🧸xist comments passed by Kalkaji candidate Ramesh Bidhuri against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi.
The BJP stated that it disapproved of Bidhuri's remarks. In a statement issued by its Delhi wing, media department head Praveen Shankar Kapoor said that political leaders should refrain from൩ makꦗing "personal gender-related or family-related comments" against others.
As reported by PTI, a group of female Congress workers, filed a complainᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚt against the BJP leader in Lucknow and demanded that an FIR be filed against Bidhuri for his remarks against Priyanka Gandhi.
"I request thatꦗ an FIR be registered against Ramesh Bidhuri for using offensive la🍌nguage towards a respected woman and tarnishing her image," wrote Congress leader Mamta Chaudhary, representing Malviya Nagar Ward 21 in Lucknow, in her formal complaint.
What Did Bidhuri Say?
In a speech at Kalkaji on✅ Saturday, the BJP leader was heard saying - "Lalu had said that he will develop roads in Bihar as smooth as Hema Malini’s cheeks. Lalu had lied. But I assure you just as we made the roads in Okhla and Sangam Vihar, we will make all the roads in Kalkaji, sudhar camp, inner and outer roads like Priyanka Gandhi’s cheeksℱ.”
Bidhuri's remark went viral on social media, res🍎ulting in backlash due to its sexi𒉰st nature.
Following the uproar about t🦋he statements against Gandhi, Bidhuri expressed his "regret.". However, the same day in Rohini, the BJP leader hit out with a fresh statement, this time targeting Delhi CM and AAP leader Atishi.
"Marlena (Atishi) has chan𝓰ged herꦑ father. Earlier she was Marlena, now she has become Singh. This is their character,” he said.
Bidhuri received backlash from both Congress party and the Aam Aadmiℱ Party for his comments against the leaders.
