What clarification was given on the statement?
Ramesh Bidhuri, while clarifying his statement, said, ‘Lalu Yadav, who was a minister in their (Congress) government, had said that he should first apologize for what he said about Hema Malini. I compared what I said with what I said earlier. Pawan Kheda should first apologize for what he said about the PM’s father.
Bidhuri clearly said that he is using the language of Congress to answer them. He said is Hema Malini not a woman? When two people make a mistake, both have to make amends. If Congress corrects its mistake, we will also do the same, this is hypocrisy, they have done nothing but corruption. Therefore they need some issue on which they can seek votes. That’s why they are blaming me.
