BJP’s Bidhuri, who shouted anti-Muslim slurs, gets key poll responsibility

The Opposition has slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) after it gave poll responsibility to Lok Sabha member Ramesh Bidhuri, who is in the eye of a storm for his derogatory comments against BSP MP Danish Ali.

Bidhuri has been given poll responsibility in Rajasthan’s Tonk district. His responsibility will be akin to the BJP’s poll in-charge of the district, party sources said.

Slamming the move, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal took to X (former Twitter) and wrote, “BJP rewards “hate” Bidhuri rewarded for attacking Danish Ali (BSP) for the unspeakable words he used in the Special Session of Parliament Made BJP incharge of Tonk District in Rajasthan Muslim population in Tonk 29.25% Symbolises “hate” for political dividends!”

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra also slammed the BJP and said Bidhuri had been “rewarded” for his remarks against a Muslim MP. “How does a showcaused person be given a new role by BJP? Narendra Modi ji, is this your Sneha Yatra for minorities, your love outreach?” she said on X._India Today
