Bihar independent MP Rajesh Ranjan, commonly known as Pappu Yadav, ignited a significant controversy with his recent comments regarding women in politics. Speaking in Purnea, Bihar, Yadav stated that 90% of women cannot initiate their political careers without visiting a male leader's room, suggesting a pervasive culture of exploitation. He criticized the predatory behavior of politicians towards women, claiming that 70% of leaders engage in inappropriate conduct. His remarks went viral, leading to widespread condemnation from various political parties. The Bihar State Women’s Commission responded by issuing a notice to Yadav, demanding an explanation for his statements and questioning why his Lok Sabha membership should not be revoked. Political figures, including Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC, dismissed the outrage as unnecessary, labeling Yadav a repeat offender seeking media attention through sensationalism. The incident has sparked discussions about the systemic issues women face in Indian politics.
