EC should act: Vasundhara Raje on Sharad Yadav's body-shaming remark

December 07, 2018 09:46

Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje today expressed shock at senior politician Sharad Yadav's body-shaming comments at her in an election rally and said the Election Commission must act.

"I am shocked. I feel insulted. He has insulted women. I think to set an example, it is very important that the Election Commission takes cognizance," Raje told reporters on Friday, after casting her vote for the Rajasthan election.

"Is this the sort of example he wants to set for youngsters? Congress and its allies should be restrained in their language," the CM said angrily.

Sharad Yadav while addressing a rally in Alwar said, "Vasundhara ko aaram do, bahut thak gayi hain, bahut moti ho gayi hain, pehle patli thi. Humare Madhya Pradesh ki beti hai. (Give rest to Vasundhara. She looks too tired and has gained too much weight. Earlier she was slim. She is our Madhya Pradesh's daughter)," Yadav said on Thursday in Alwar while addressing a rally.

Later, while clarifying his remarks, Yadav said that it was a mere 'joke' and his intentions were not to hurt the Bharatiya Janata Party leader.
