This is not the first time that the LJD party leader has made such derogatory remark. Earlier in 2017, he had said that the ‘honour of a vote is bigger and important that the honour of daughter’. In 2015, while speaking in the Rajya Sabha, he made a comparison of the women in north and south. He said, “The body of women from the south is as good as beautiful they are. They (women) in our region are not that good as those (in south) know dancing.”
The voting for Rajasthan Assembly Election 2018 is likely to begin at 8 AM on December 7 and continue till evening. The state is witnessing a tough contest between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress. The counting of votes will be held on December 11, along with four other states – Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram.
