BJP Calls Congress ‘B-Grade Video Production House’ After ‘Misogyny’ Video

Darpan News Desk IANS, 14 Feb, 2018 12:13 PM

    Close on the heels of a row over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark triggered by Renuka Chowdhury's laughter in the Rajya Sabha, the Congress posted a video on Monday accusing the BJP and its leaders of harbouring a "misogynistic" attitude.

     

    "Misogyny runs deep within the BJP and PM Modi's statements are a classic example of this deplorable mindset," read a tweet posted along with a video with the hashtag "#MisogynisticModi" on the Congress Twitter handle.

     

    The video shows Prime Minister Modi's remark in the Rajya Sabha over Ms Chowdhury's laughter, his reported statement on Sonia Gandhi and his "50-crore girlfriend" remark about Congress leader Shashi Tharoor's wife, Sunanda Pushkar, as well as RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks terming marriage a "contract".

     

    Here's what the Congress tweeted from their official twitter handle yesterday:

     
     

    "How can women of India hope for equality under the leadership of misogynists," the video, which also carried statements of BJP leaders such as Arun Jaitley and Mahesh Sharma, asked.

     

    The BJP has dubbed it a "flippant message" produced by a "B-grade video production house".

     

    "Ever since Rahul Gandhi has taken over as the Congress president, the party has given up on serious political commentary on important issues and is functioning as a B-grade video production house with a flippant message. The party is now operating at the level of Rahul Gandhi's IQ," said BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao.

     

    Last week, Prime Minister Modi had said in Parliament that Renuka Chowdhury's laughter -- sparked by his remark that Aadhaar was mooted by the NDA -- reminded him of the epic serial, Ramayana.

     

    Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju had posted a video clip from the TV serial, showing Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana, laughing aloud.
