A Rs 10 lakh reward announcement has triggered a major political controversy after a BJP minister’s husband made a shocking remark about girls from Bihar. The comment, made in a public speech, quickly went viral and drew strong criticism from across the state.
Reacting sharply, RJD MLA IP Gupta announced a Rs 10 lakh reward for anyone who brings the BJP leader’s husband to Bihar. He said the statement insulted the dignity of Bihar’s women and crossed all limits of decency.
The remark suggested that girls from Bihar could be “brought” for a small amount of money. Many leaders called the comment shameful and unacceptable. Social media users also expressed anger and demanded strict action.
Several opposition leaders said such statements promote disrespect and violence against women. Women’s rights groups urged authorities to take legal steps and ensure accountability.
After the backlash grew, the BJP minister’s husband issued a clarification. He claimed his words were misunderstood and said he did not intend to insult anyone. However, critics said the damage was already done.
The incident has reignited debate on women’s safety, political responsibility, and the tone of public discourse in India.
