Congress MLA takes a dig at the Modi Government over ‘unseen vikas’
Bhopal, June 25 (HS): Congress MLA and Madhya Pradesh unit chief Jitu Patwari has landed himself in a major controversy after he compared Modi government’s schemes to daughter, while the wait for the son, Vikas (development), continued.
Taking to Twitter, former Minister Jitu Patwari said that in an attempt to give birth to a son called ‘Vikas’, the Modi government has already gave birth to five daughters namely, demonetisation, GST, inflation, unemployment and economic slowdown.”
Jitu’s sexist remarks against the girl child in an attempt to attack the Modi government, soon backfired as social media users slammed the former Madhya Pradesh minister for such an insensitive tweet against the birth of the girl child.
Later, he posted an apology: ” As far as the daughters are concerned, they are divine.”
“Modiji broke the back of the country’s economy with demonetisation, GST, inflation, unemployment and recession. The public endured all this only in the hope of development. I regret if any sentiments have been hurt.”
MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan hit out at Congress MLA and said, “At a time when entire nation is proud of the sacrifices made by the likes of Rani Durgavati, Congress is busy insulting our daughters.”
CM also demanded the expulsion of Patwari from Congress and demanded an apology from party’s interim president Sonia Gandhi. CM further stated that this leader is the same Madam Sonia is the one who drove your son on a motorcycle. Who gave him the right to insult daughters? Either Sonia Gandhi should apologise to the nation or oust Patwari for this act.
NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma said, “Sad that these people with this kind of mindset are calling themselves leaders. What are they teaching to their followers I wonder. Will ask for an explanation from him for sure.”
