00:22after facing flak for having rahul gandhi's picture there on his screens that you see essentially in

00:27that pad in fact on the sanitary pads packet has now defended this decision to have his face there

00:34saying that bjp was ready to give out sindoor boxes to women with the prime minister's face on it i'm

00:43going to go straight across to rohit singh for more rohit this is absolutely bizarre and also a very

00:48weak defense really coming in from the congress party there trying to woo women however rahul

00:53gandhi's face on that packet how are they really explaining this what about the sindoor out of a

00:58operation sindoor comparison that they've done here well yes that's the defense of the congress party

01:10that if you have can have pictures of prime minister narenda modi on various other things which are also

01:16the operation operation sindoor we saw that prime minister narenda modi's big cutout support across

01:21the country now what is happening here in bihar because it's an election bound state the congress

01:26party today declared and that if it comes to power it will be distributing five lakh sanitary pads to

01:33girls and women's in bihar and while showing a one of the packet of the sanitary pad it had a picture

01:39of priyanka gandhi as well as rahul gandhi and that has really created a controversy and then the

01:46controversy is created because the bjp has now taken a jibe at the congress party and has claimed

01:52that the congress party doesn't even know that where should they put the picture of rahul gandhi

01:57and where they should not put the pictures of rahul gandhi and that is a controversy that has erupted

02:02the bjp has taken pot shots at the congress party however alka lamba of the congress party who was

02:09here in patta today and who was making this declaration at the press conference she also hit back

02:15at the bjp and the nda government here in bihar says that since nitish kumar in the last 20 years

02:21has done nothing for women and girls in the state and that is why the congress party has now come out

02:27with the announcement that they will be distributing sanitary pads to women and girls if it comes to

02:34power so basically it's a controversy that has erupted because there were pictures of rahul gandhi on that

02:39sanitary pad box which was shown there at the press conference and the bjp really hitting out at

02:47the congress and also making a mockery of it of using rahul gandhi's pictures at this place

02:53well absolutely that's in fact in pole bound bihar where this is playing out i'm going to leave it

02:57that for the moment rohit singh getting in those details more reactions coming in let's take a listen

03:02oh

03:04oh

03:06oh

03:08Now, look at the state,

03:11which rules we have like,

03:13if their children and staff are also using the blue policies,

03:16why performing the disease they might be using?

03:18If someone is resisting,

03:20but do a solution here!

03:21But if they do something with the prevention of environmental issues,

03:26they are waiting for them.

03:28But the problem is,

03:29I think people are stubbornly involved in these emotions.

03:32But this makes you a more correct attitude.

03:35And how much you are going to do your research?

03:38On the other hand, people ask questions

03:41about how you are putting photos on your journey.

03:44But then, there are also such things.

03:46There are such things that we don't have to be westernized.

03:53We also have to do some things on the other hand.

03:57I think that I'm going to take a look at your thoughts.

04:00It's a good thing that you are talking about sanitary parts.

04:03but it's on the top of the photo of Rahul's photo.

04:05It's all about seeing it.

04:07I've read it.

04:09I've read it.

04:11I've read it.

04:13I've read it.

04:15I've read it.

04:17I don't know Congress is so old.

04:19I've read it.

04:21I've read it.

04:23I've read it.

04:25I've read it.

04:27I'm reading it.

04:29about the progress of the oriental movement, Congress.

04:33Where to sit and sit?

04:37It's so the respect of their own people earlier today.

04:39It's what they say in terms of the sense of the past.

04:41What they say is that they don't understand.

04:43The other players are keeping the peace of Congress.

04:47They're being touched on their own people.

04:49The vermeer of Congress is being turned in a camp.

04:53So clearly, it seems Rahul Gandhi's attempt to become bad man in the state of fold-bound Bihar

04:59backfiring with in fact political leaders saying that this was really not appropriate even though

05:05it is full season this could have been done better
