Row Over Kailash Vijayvargiya's 'Weight' Remark On Councillor. She Responds

Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya commented on a woman BJP councillor's weight and then joined the audience in mocking her during a groundbreaking ceremony in Indore on Sunday, prompting attacks from Congress leaders.The incident occurred in Assembly Constituency Number 1 at a programme to launch construction projects, including the laying of a Narmada water pipeline.Vijayvargiya, the chief guest, had initially praised local BJP councillor Sandhya Yadav for her work and active involvement in the area. The speech took a controversial turn when the leader spotted Indore-5 MLA Mahendra Hardia on the stage."Mahendra-ji, I didn't even see you," he said, before adding, "Oh, you were sitting behind the councillor." Referring to Yadav, the minister then remarked: "Sandhya Didi has also put on some weight."The audience broke into laughter, and so did Kailash Vijayvargiya.
