“Thousands of women, talented, educated pass exams with struggle and get jobs. Priyank Kharge, don’t you think you have insulted all those women with your words? Apologise immediately,” BJP Karnataka unit said in post on its social media handle.
ಸಾವಿರಾರು ಮಹಿಳೆಯರು, ಪ್ರತಿಭಾವಂತರು, ವಿದ್ಯಾವಂತರು ಕಷ್ಟಪಟ್ಟು, ಅನೇಕ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಗಳನ್ನು ಉತ್ತೀರ್ಣರಾಗಿ, ಕೆಲಸ ಗಿಟ್ಟಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ ಖರ್ಗೆ ಅವರೇ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಈ ಮಾತುಗಳು, ಅಷ್ಟು ಜನ ಮಹಿಳೆಯರಿಗೆ ಅವಮಾನ ಮಾಡಿದಂತಲ್ಲವೇ? ಕೂಡಲೇ ಕ್ಷಮೆಯಾಚಿಸಿ. #ಮಹಿಳಾವಿರೋಧಿಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ pic.twitter.com/lTpZkAvNwr — BJP Karnataka (@BJP4Karnataka) August 13, 2022 “There are secret CDs, tales on the nightlife of so-called Congress leaders. Mr. Junior Kharge you will find it difficult to defend if the dual face of Congress leaders who pose to society as good leaders is exposed,” the BJP said.
“A helpless woman was sexually assaulted by Minister Meti during the tenure of Congress government. What about ‘Digvijay’ and ‘Abhishek’ CDs that came out during the tenure of the UPA government,?” the BJP’s post said.
The BJP claimed that Priyank Kharge, son of Rajya Sabha Opposition leader Mallikarjun Kharge, “does not know that his house is not in order”.
“When he (Priyank) is leveling allegations on BJP, the corruption scandal of Jayamala, a former minister in Congress government has come out in the state,” the BJP said.
