"If they are seen in Congress rallies, will make their arrangements": BJP MP Dhananjay Mahadik makes controversial remarks against Ladki Bahin Yojana beneficiaries (VIDEO)

Kolhapur: In a controversial statement against women, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Dhananjay Mahadik on Saturday urged party workers to click photos and get the names of 'Ladki Bahin' yojana beneficiaries seen in Congress rallies and promised to "make their arrangements".

"Women, who take Rs 1500 of 'Ladki Bahin' yojana, if they are seen in Congress rallies, then take their photographs and names, we will make their arrangement."

He made the remark while addressing a election campaign in Kolhapur -south constituency for his nephew and BJP candidate Amal Mahadik.

He said "We would not tolerate if anyone 'takes money from the goverment but shows the cloven hoof towards Congress."

If you see women who take benefit of Ladki Bahin Yojana in Congress rallies, then click their pictures & write their names and give it to us, we’ll do their proper treatment.
