The BJP has engaged in another war of words controversy, however, this time with the NCP, who is one of the ally in the MVA government in Maharashtra.
It has come to light that the Maharashtra BJP president Chandrakant Patil has stirred a controversy with his comments asking NCP MP Supriya Sule to "go home and cook" instead of being in politics, drawing a sharp reaction from her party.
He made these remarks during a protest by the state BJP unit in Mumbai for seeking reservation for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in elections on Wednesday, May 25.
Sule said she had contacted MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan during his Delhi visit, but he did not divulge what he did to get nod for the reservation.
Responding to this, the NCP leader stated: "He should learn to make chapattis so that he can help his wife at home."
NCP's state women wing president Vidya Chavan, without taking his name, said a person who denied ticket to a sitting woman MLA and contested from her constituency is bad-mouthing an MP, who has been honoured with the Sansad Ratna award (for good performance) twice.
Moreover, Supriya Sule's husband Sadanand Sule also in a social media post criticised Patil's remarks, saying, "This is the Maharashtra BJP president speaking about Supriya. I have always maintained that they (BJP) are misogynistic and demean women whenever they can." "I am proud of my wife who is a homemaker, mother and a successful politician, one amongst many other hardworking and talented women in India. This is an insult to all women," he said.
