Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi condemned BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's remarks about her 'cheeks' as a distraction from real issues. The controversy ignites as Delhi's elections approach, with BJP and Congress candidates,

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday slammed former BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri over his controversial reference to her cheeks, calling it "ridiculous" and "irrelevant". The Wayanad MP also took a jibe at the BJP leader saying that he did not speak about his own cheeks.

Ramesh Bidhuri, who is fighting upcoming Delhi polls against Chief Minister Atishi, has said he would make the roads of Kalkaji as smooth as Priyanka’s cheeks if elected MLA.

BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri's sexist remark against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi is the latest flashpoint between the two political parties.

The BJP Kalkaji candidate had triggered a row after he reportedly remarked that he would make the roads of the assembly seat as smooth as Priyanka's cheeks.

Congress leader Alka Lamba, who is contesting from Delhi's Kalkaji, said her fight is against Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, who is also fighting from the seat.

BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri from Delhi’s Kalkaji constituency expressed regret over controversial comments on Congress leader and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi. He retracted his statement that sparked major row.

Delhi Pradesh Youth Congress and NSUI protested against BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri for his remarks about Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. They demanded Bidhuri apologize and cancel his candidacy for the upcoming polls.

BJP Leader Ramesh Bidhuri is not new to controversies surrounding his public statements. Last year, he invited widespread condemnation over his outburst against then BSP MP Danish Ali in the Lok Sabha.
