NEW DELHI: Women parliamentarians feel “very uncomfortable” with Rahul Gandhi as he moves around like a “tapori” and butts into interviews of others, BJP MP Kangana Ranaut said Wednesday in a swipe at the leader of opposition and asked him to learn from his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra who has “good etiquettes”.“Rahul Gandhi is a shame I must say,” she told reporters on Parliament’s premises. Using Hindi slangs to target him, the actor-politician said, “We women feel very uncomfortable seeing him. He moves around like a tapodi and speaks in tu-tadak”.
Rahul’s preferred casual attire, often a white T-shirt paired with cargo pants, have at times faced criticism from BJP members for allegedly not in line with decorum of Parliament but Kangana’s reference to discomfort of women Parliamentarians with him drew criticism.“That is such an unthoughtful statement to make,” Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, praising women leaders who have come out of the Nehru-Gandhi family and he has grown up watching.“For him to disrespect or make any woman feel uncomfortable is absolutely unthinkable,” she said.
