The avoidable controversy created over Rahul Gandhi's 'flying kiss' to NDA MPs during the discussion on the no-confidence motion in Parliament refuses to die down.
A legislator belonging to Rahul Gandhi's own party has come out with a comment which would only keep the unnecessary controversy alive.
Defending the Wayanad MP and taking a dig at Smriti Irani, Congress MLA Neetu Singh from Hisua seat of Nawada district said that Rahul has more women fans. "Why should he blow a flying kiss to a 50-year-old woman?" She said in a video. Neetu Singh also termed Irani's allegations as baseless.
The BJP has now launched an attack on this statement. Sharing the video, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted, "Anti-women Congress can even defend Rahul’s misdemeanours inside the House"
Condemning Neetu Singh's statement, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia described it as 'shameful'.
