This swipe by BJP has led to outraged remarks and clarifications from the Opposition ranks.
Poonam Kaur on this said, “This is absolutely demeaning of you. Remember prime minister spoke about narishakti…I almost slipped and toppled. That’s how sir held my hand.”
Congress Spokesperson Shama Mohamed said that she was not surprised by her remarks since she belongs to a party that releases gang-rapists and murderers for ‘good behavior’. She said, “Only someone with a depraved mindset will tweet something as despicable as this. Not surprising, since she belongs to a party that releases gang-rapists and murderers for ‘good behavior’ and attends satsangs conducted by them!”

Giving a fitting reply to Priti Gandhi, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate said, “Yes he is following in the footsteps of his great grandfather – and is uniting this great country of ours. That aside, your childhood traumas are deep and proof of your sick mind. You need treatment.”
Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi giving a fitting reply to BJP Leader said, “If you mean, it leads to women walking shoulder to shoulder with men and hand in hand…to strengthen and take the nation forward, then not just Pandit Nehru’s vision of India but also Babasaheb Ambedkar’s and the freedom fighters’ dream of equal India will be realised. Sit down please.”
Congress leader Radhika Khera even went as far as to book the BJP leader an appointment with a psychologist. She tweeted, “Some women target fellow women for being in public life & shaking hands with a leader Some women really care about fellow women, like I do. Booked a prepaid Appt. for @MrsGandhi with a Psychologist so she can get medical help, urgently Get well soon, Priti.”
