When it comes to elections, it’s a win-or-a-lose state of affairs. In such a state of affairs, a person — typically a politician holds no bar. The most up-to-date occasion concerned Haryana Congress chief Randeep Singh Surjewala, who was accused of constructing “sexist” remarks towards Mathura MP Hema Malini of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP was fast to take notice and slam the Congress chief and even alleged that it confirmed the principle opposition celebration’s misogynistic method.
“…Why make MLA/MP? So that they can raise our voices, get our views accepted, that is why they must be making it. But Hema Malini was made to lick?”
However, such incidents usually are not new when it comes to campaigning throughout the elections. In 2016, the political circle was outraged when BJP’s Dayashankar Singh compared rival political chief and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati to a ‘prostitute’ on digicam. So a lot in order that the then Finance Minister Arun Jaitley expressed ‘private remorse’ in Parliament and mentioned, “It is not right and I condemn the use of this word and if a person has said this, we will investigate. I express personal regret. I associate with your dignity and stand with you.” The BJP in the end eliminated Singh from the vice chairman’s submit.
In a unfastened translation from Hindi to English, Singh mentioned, “Mayawati is selling tickets (to contest polls)…She is a three-time chief minister but she gives tickets to anyone who gives her Rs 1 crore. If someone comes with 2 crore in the afternoon, she gives him a ticket. If somebody comes with 3 crore in the evening, she dumps the previous candidates and picks him. Today her character is worse than that of a prostitute.”
In injury management, he apologised and mentioned, “I can’t even think of Mayawatiji that way. She has come up after a lot of struggle.”
