Smriti Irani Takes A Dig At BV Srinivas’ ‘Gungi-Behri’ Remark
Union Minister, Smriti Irani slammed Rahul Gandhi and other Congress ministers over the reported ‘gungi-behri’ remark passed by BV Sriniwas. She said, “I’m saying this because he’s not the first leader of the Youth Congress to make lewd remarks… “Unless these two are present, every Congress politician seeking promotion would continue to make such lewd remarks,” Irani continued. “Jab tak ye do hain, tab tak Congress ka neta jo promotion chaahega, woh is praakar ki abhadra tippiniya karta rahega.”
“Shabd Rahul Gandhi ke hain, sanskaar Sonia Gandhi ke hain, bas zuban Yuva Congress ki hai (The words are Rahul Gandhi’s, the values are Sonia Gandhi’s, only the mouth belongs to Youth Congress),” she claimed.
In response to the video, the BJP has attacked Srinivas vehemently. Congress, according to a party official, has turned into a “cesspool of misogyny.”
Rahul Gandhi was attacked and accused of insulting prime minister Modi in Parliament earlier today by union minister Smriti Irani. Rahul has in response claimed that he will keep attacking PM Modi’s image until he destroys it.
BJP Spokesperson Attacks BV Srinivas Over The Clip
“First abuse OBC, then courts and then throw papers at the speakers; abuse journalists and now abuse women! Congress has repeatedly insulted people who have achieved success through their own hard work. They have mispronounced Rashtrapati as Rashtrapatni. They said that Draupadi ji has a bad attitude, insulted even the PM’s mother, and chanted “Modi ki Kabr” khudegi. Thought belongs to Rahul Gandhi, while the words are by BV Srinivas. Will Sonia ji and Priyanka take action against him? Is this a group of abhorrent misogynists or “Ladki hoon lad sakti hoon”? he tweeted.
