Independent Member of Parliament Pappu Yadav has sparked controversy with his comments suggesting that most women cannot succeed in politics without spending time with male politicians. His remarks were made in the context of the Women's Reservation Bill, which failed to pass in the Lok Sabha due to opposition. Yadav described male politicians as 'vultures' and claimed that exploiting women has become a culture in politics. The comments drew sharp criticism from BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla, who labeled them as misogynistic and reflective of the Congress party's views. Poonawalla also challenged Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi's silence on the matter, given her previous advocacy for women's rights. BJP leader Charu Pragya called for Yadav's suspension from Parliament, highlighting the troubling mindset reflected in his remarks. Following the backlash, the Bihar State Women's Commission issued a notice to Yadav, indicating the seriousness of the situation.
