BJP MLA's Controversial Remarks Ignite Political Firestorm in Madhya Pradesh

A BJP MLA in Madhya Pradesh has ignited a political firestorm with his controversial comparison of the state's road conditions to late actors Om Puri and Sridevi. The comments, which aimed to criticize the opposition's past governance, have drawn widespread condemnation and demands for accountability.

The remarks made by MLA Preetam Lodhi suggested that roads under the Congress regime were like the cheeks of Om Puri, while under BJP, they were as smooth as Sridevi. These remarks were labeled as disrespectful and have led to calls from the opposition for Lodhi's resignation or apology.

This controversy adds to the pressure on the BJP, as another senior leader is under scrutiny for derogatory comments against a female officer. The Supreme Court is involved, examining allegations and demanding accountability from those implicated in such disdainful rhetoric.
