The controversial statement of Rajasthan BJP state president Madan Rathore in which he called a female leader a ‘export quality’. This statement has caused the politics of Rajasthan. The Congress and especially the Women’s Congress have reacted strongly to this statement. Women leaders described it as a symbol of BJP’s anti -women mentality. He has publicly demanded apologies and also appealed to the central leadership of the BJP for immediate intervention.
‘BJP’s thinking towards women is open’
Rajasthan Pradesh Mahila Congress President Sarika Singh reacted strongly to the statement of BJP state president, saying that this comment is not only an insult to a woman, but also shows how narrow and derogatory BJP’s mindset towards women is. He alleged that the BJP uses issues like ‘Mahila Bachao’, ‘Mahila reservation’ and ‘triple talaq’ only for political advantage, while in reality the party leaders do not leave a single chance to insult women.
He also said that such statements prove that there is no place to respect women in the thinking of the people sitting in top positions in the BJP. Sarika Singh demanded that the BJP central leadership take immediate cognizance and take action against the state president who gives the statement. In addition, Rathore was also expected to publicly apologize.
‘Such leaders are not able to live in any party’
Former state Congress president Rakhi Gautam also took a tough stand on this controversy and said that indecent language like ‘Export Quality’ hurts the dignity of women. He raised the question whether this is the BJP’s view of ‘Mahila Samman’? He said that instead of empowering women, BJP leaders are insulting them on political forums.
Rakhi Gautam said that the BJP has never given priority to the welfare of women, but has used them as a vote bank. He also clearly stated that such leaders are not able to live in any responsible political party and the BJP should immediately remove Madan Rathore and set an example.
Big attack on BJP on the pretext of statement
The Congress said that this statement is not just the fault of one person but the result of the overall thinking of the BJP. The Mahila Congress said that the repeated anti-women comments of the BJP are proof that women are seen only as political equipment in the party, not as a uniform citizen. The Congress also said that it will fight to any extent to protect women’s respect and rights. Such objectionable statements will never be tolerated.
This statement of BJP state president Madan Rathore has given the opportunity to attack the government and the party, on the other hand, this issue has become the center of discussion socially. Now everyone’s eyes are on what the central leadership of the BJP takes on this statement.
