The UK minister husband remark on Bihar women has sparked a major political controversy in India. Girdhari Lal Sahu, husband of Uttarakhand minister Rekha Arya, made the statement during a public event. He claimed that women from Bihar could be “found for marriage at ₹20,000–₹25,000,” which many called insulting and sexist.
The comment quickly went viral on social media. Public anger grew as people accused Sahu of degrading women and Bihar as a whole. Although he later issued an apology, political reactions intensified across party lines.
Leaders from the BJP in Bihar strongly condemned the remark. They said such statements reflect a poor mindset and harm the dignity of women. The party demanded accountability and respect for women from all states.
The Janata Dal (United) also criticized the comment. Its leaders said no one has the right to insult women or treat them as commodities.
Opposition parties joined the attack. RJD and Congress accused the BJP of remaining silent for too long. They demanded a clear apology and strict action.
The issue has heated up Bihar’s political atmosphere and continues to dominate public debate.
