Kiren Rijiju's 'Bal Budhi' Dig At Rahul Gandhi Over 'No Dalit In Miss India' Remark

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju slams Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his 'No Dalit and Adivasi in Miss India' remark. Mr. Rijiju posted on X on Sunday that Rahul Gandhi now wants reservations in Miss India competitions, films, and sports.

Rahul Gandhi attended the Samvidhan Samman Sammelan in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj on August 24. In his address, he said that India can't function efficiently without the involvement of 90 percent population. He referred to Gandhi as a 'bal budhi', and said "People who cheer him are equally responsible too". Miss India, Olympic athletes, and film actors are not selected by the government, he adds.

Now, He wants reservations in Miss India competitions, Films, sports! It is not only issue of "Bal Budhi", but people who cheer him are - equally responsible too!
