The BJP women’s wing on Sunday denounced Chhattisgarh Excise Minister Kawasi Lakhma for calling BJP leader D. Purandeshwari a "bandit queen".
In a press conference here, the BJP leaders said the comment was an insult to women. Could the Minister address Congress leader Sonia Gandhi as Phoolan Devi, they asked.
Women’s wing Vice President Meenal Choubey asked Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel to fulfill his election promise to ensure women’s security.
“Today the state has become a hub of crime," she said.
