Maneka Gandhi warns Muslim voters in Sultanpur

Union minister Maneka Gandhi was caught on camera threatening voters to vote for her in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Maneka Gandhi told a group of Muslims to vote for her in the 2019 general elections or else they would not receive any help when she will be voted to power again. Maneka Gandhi was addressing a gathering in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur, where she is contesting on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket.

"I will win this Lok Sabha elections anyway but I won't feel good if I win without the support of the Muslims. Things become sour after that. Later when a Muslim comes over for some work, I feel let it be, how does it matter? It's all a give and take, isn't it? We aren't children of Mahatma Gandhi. It is not that we keep on giving but still keep losing the elections. You will have to spread it everywhere. I am winning with or without Muslims," Maneka Gandhi said.

Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya Phool Singh Baraiya: 'Pretty Women Distract Men And Lead To Rape'

On this Special Report, the focus is on the massive political controversy in Madhya Pradesh triggered by Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya. The legislator has drawn severe criticism for his derogatory remarks regarding women and backward communities. Baraiya claimed that 'pretty women can distract men and which can lead to their rape' while further asserting that there are no 'pretty women' in the Adivasi, SC, ST, and OBC communities. He went on to suggest that raping a backward woman is considered equal to a 'pilgrimage' in certain scriptures. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has slammed the MLA, accusing him of spreading venom in society and demanding that Rahul Gandhi sack him from the party. The programme examines the backlash against these vulgar comments and the political fallout as leaders from the BJP demand accountability from the Congress leadership.
