Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ramesh Bidhuri once again made headlines after he made sexist remarks against Delhi chief minister Atishi, calling her a “deer running in the forest”. The jibe drew ire from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). AAP said that Bidhuri has once again shown his “anti-women thinking". Bidhuri, who served as a Lok Sabha MP from South Delhi from 2014 to 2024, has now been fielded as the BJP candidate from Kalkaji against Atishi.
“Dilli ki janta nark bhog rahi hai galiyon mei… galiyon ki halat dekhiye… Kabhi Atishi nahi gayi milne logon se. Lekin ab chunaav ke samay jaise jungle mei hirni bhaagti hai vaise Atishi Dilli ki sadko pr hirni jaise ghoom rahi hain (The people of Delhi are suffering in the streets of Delhi… Look at the condition of the streets… In the last four years, Atishi never came to meet the people and now when the elections are here, she is roaming on the streets of Delhi like a deer runs in the forest)," the BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri said during a rally in Delhi.
AAP Reacts To Bidhuri’s Remarks
AAP came down heavily on BJP and said that the abusive party leader Ramesh Bidhuri has once again shown his anti-women thinking. “BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri again made derogatory remarks on Delhi’s female Chief Minister Atishi. Delhiites will not forgive such abusive leaders and parties."
Ramesh Bidhuri Sparks Row
This is not the first time that Ramesh Bidhuri has made such a controversial remark against Atishi.
Earlier, Bidhuri stoked controversy after he criticised Atishi for changing her name from "Marlena" to "Singh", implying a shift in her identity. He remarked, "This Marlena became Singh. She changed her name. Arvind Kejriwal swore on his children not to align with the corrupt Congress. Marlena changed her father. This reflects the character of the Aam Aadmi Party."
