Celebrity badminton player Saina Nehwal attacked senior state Congressman Shamanur Shivashankarappa on Saturday for his misogynistic comments directed at Gayatri Siddheshwar, the BJP candidate running for the Davangere seat. Gayatri Siddheshwar is a self-taught cook, according to her 92-year-old sitting Davanagere South MLA, Shivashankarappa.
Since Shivashankarappa's statement, the state BJP has already become very assertive. He is to apologise to the BJP for his insults to women. Player badminton Saina Nehwal expressed her disapproval of the remark in a post on the online media outlet. A party that claims that just because she is a girl doesn't deserve to make remarks like this about Davanagere candidate Gayatri Siddheshwara.
Nehwal said that when women in the country aspire to leave their mark in every field, such hateful comments against women are disturbing. Saina Nehwal has written that when I won medals for India on the sports field, what did the Congress Party want from me, what should I have done? Why is it being said like this, when all girls and women dream of achieving great achievements in any field.
Nehwal wrote that on the one hand, we are praising women's power. Women's Reservation Bill has been passed under the leadership of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and on the other side some people insult women's power and oppose women. This is very disturbing.
It is noteworthy that during the meeting with Congress workers, Congress MLA Shivshankarappa raised questions on the qualifications of BJP candidate Siddheshwara and said that he cannot address public issues effectively. She can only cook in the kitchen.
Shivashankarappa further said that as you all know she wants to feed Modi's lotus flower by winning the elections. He does not understand the problems of Davanagere. The Congress MLA further said that it is one thing to know how to talk, but she only knows how to cook in the kitchen, the opposition party BJP does not have the strength to talk in front of the public.
