Explain remarks on Umashree: BJP to Tejaswini

BJP State president Pralhad Joshi has sought an explanation from party leader Tejaswini for her remarks against Minister for Kannada and Culture Umashree.

Joshi said Tejaswini’s remarks had embarrassed the party. “BJP is a disciplined party. No functionary should make personal remarks against anybody,” he said.

Tejaswini had asked whether it was possible for a woman politician to assume power in Congress without compromising her honour and self-respect.

She had sought to know how Umashree managed to get a ministerial berth. Joshi said disciplinary action would be taken against Tejaswini after receiving her explanation.
