BHOPAL: Former BJP minister Badrilal Yadav fuelled a controversy by using unparliamentary and sexist remarks against the Rajgarh collector in front of former CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan, state BJP president, leader of opposition and other leaders in Rajgarh on Wednesday.

Speaking before senior party leaders, Yadav said, “Madam collector is feeding... Congress workers making them sit on her lap but slapping BJP workers.” Congress took umbrage to Yadav’s sexist remark and burnt effigy of the LoP and Yadav at PCC office in Bhopal.

The BJP had organised a rally in the city on Wednesday to protest against Rajgarh Collector and the SDM for allegedly slapping party workers during a pro-CAA march on January 19.

While addressing the protesters, Yadav passed sexist remarks against the collector and even used objectionable words against the woman officer.

LoP Gopal Bhargava also said, “Madam, the power of Constitution had given you the opportunity to become officer through the UPPSC. Otherwise, you would have been making chappatis somewhere.”

BJP national secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya taunted the JNU and collector Nidhi Nivedita “I have came to know that the virus of JNU has reached Rajgarh, the collector is also from the JNU”.

He claimed that the BJP would send chief minister Kamal Nath into retirement just like former chief minister Digvijaya Singh.

Ex-CM Chouhan vowed, “I am going to uproot the Nath government”. He further said, “We don’t let someone who teases us and go off the hook”.

He also complained against Rajgarh voters, “This scenario would not have occurred had you given 800 more votes to the BJP candidate.”

He alleged that AICC president Sonia Gandhi was behind the chaos and compared the situation with the Ravana and Lanka, “The envoys of Ravana used to create problems for saints while, he enjoyed life in Lanka”.

The BJP leaders demanded to conduct the FIR against the collector and SDM and submitted the complaint to the police officials

District Women Congress unit burnt effigy of the LoP and Yadav for their statements against the collector and the SDM. DCC president Santosh Kansana alleged that BJP leaders have lost mental balance and are violating basic norms of society, like respecting women in public place and at home.
