Gwalior/Bhopal: An unsavoury remark on a woman BJP Minister by former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress leader Kamal Nath has kicked a political storm in the central state where crucial bypolls are approaching.
During a campaign rally in Gwalior’s Dabra constituency on Sunday, Kamal Nath, without mentioning Cabinet Minister Imarti Devi’s name, said: “Our candidates are straightforward in nature, not like her, what is her name (the crowd replied ‘Imarti Devi’)… why should I even take her name? What an item!”
BJP’s Madhya Pradesh unit President Vishnu Dutt Sharma said: “On the second day of Navratri, Kamal Nath has insulted the women power by calling a woman an item. The people of the state will respond to it.” (IANS)
