BJP Leader Kailash Vijayvargiya Compares Women To ‘Surpanakha’; Faces Backlash From Congress

Women’s dress has always been a very convenient topic for politicians to talk about. Recently, a video surfaced on the internet that features Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya delivering a speech on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. It was a religious function where he compared ill-dressed women to Surpanakha (Ravana’s Sister from the Hindu Epic Ramayana). It happened in the Indore city.

“I feel like slapping them 5 to 7 times,” says Kailash Vijayvargiya

The top BJP politician expressed his anger in the viral video about young women going out late at night while under the influence of drink or drugs.

Swearing his urge to ‘slap’ them, Kailash said, “When I leave for home at night, I see educated young people and children under the influence of drugs. I feel like approaching and slapping them five to seven times to sober them up.”

Adding on to his statement, the minister went on saying, “And the girls wear such dirty clothes. We think of women as goddesses but they look like Shurpanakha.”

“God has given you a good body, wear nice clothes. Please teach your children well, I am very worried,” he added.

Instant backlash coming from Congress

The opposition immediately reacted to the minister’s words, with Indian National Congress spokesperson, Shama Mohamed criticising Union minister Smriti Irani for her silence.

“Where is Smriti Irani now? Does she condone this disgusting statement? Or does she only find her voice to attack RahulGandhi,” Tweeted Shama.

Commenting on BJP’s alleged humiliation of women, the Congress spokesperson Sangeeta Sharma said, “BJP leaders humiliate women again and again. It shows their thinking and their attitude.”
