Rahul Gandhi’s recent remarks about Aishwarya Rai during the Bharat Jodo Nyayatra in Prayagraj have sparked quite a debate. The senior Congress leader, while discussing the Ayodhya Pranapratishtha program, expressed dissatisfaction about the exclusion of OBCs and Dalits. He pointed out that these communities, constituting 73% of the country’s population, were not invited to the significant ceremony. Rahul specifically called out the presence of billionaires and Bollywood celebrities, including Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bachchan, and Narendra Modi.
Unsurprisingly, Rahul’s comments didn’t go unnoticed, and they received criticism from various quarters. Singer Sona Mohapatra was notably furious, questioning why politicians resort to inappropriate remarks about women in their speeches. Prime Minister Modi also joined the chorus, condemning the comments made about Aishwarya Rai. The controversy gained traction on social media platforms, with many expressing their opinions on the appropriateness of such statements about women in the realm of political discourse.
