National spokesperson of BJP, Pradeep Bhandari, however, reacted to Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, calling it “divisive” and “full of falsehood”.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday stated that after reviewing the list of former Miss India winners, he found no Dalit, tribal, or OBC representation among them. He made this comment during a ‘Samvidhan Samman Sammelan’ event, advocating for a nationwide “caste census”.

BJP National spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari, however, reacted to Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, and called it “divisive” and “full of falsehood”.

Responding to Rahul’s comments, BJP leader Amit Malviya, too, tagged a Congress post on X and questioned if people can find one one person from SC, ST or OBC community in the pictures.  Taking a swipe at Rahul’s comments, the leader said, politics of “balak buddhi” (childish intelligence) is a “fraud”.

“I have checked the list of Miss India, which did not have any Dalit, Adivasi (tribal) or OBC women. Some will talk about cricket or Bollywood. No one will show the cobbler or plumber. Even top anchors in the media are not from the 90 per cent,” he said.

“They will say Modiji embraced someone and we have become superpower. How have we become superpower when 90 per cent people has no participation?” he asked, attacking the mainstream media of the country.

Reacting to Rahul’s remark, Bhandari, in a post on X, shared a video of a Dalit woman being crowned. Bhandari wrote: “Not long ago, just 2 years back, a tribal girl from Chhattisgarh, Miss Riya Ekka, won the Miss India title. Rahul Gandhi’s plan is divisive and it’s full of falsehood.”

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha also alleged that the BJP might say that he was trying to divide the country with his demand of a caste census.

“We want to now how many in institutions, corporates, Bollywood, Miss India are from the 90 per cent. I am only saying that 90 per cent did not have ‘bhagidari’ and this should be checked,” he said.
