BJP MP Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday reacted to former Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath's "item" remark on BJP's Imarti Devi. Scindia said, in defence, Kamal Nath said he forget her (Imarti Devi's) name. How can you forget the name of someone who was in your cabinet? Because she's a woman, a Dalit? Is this his & Congress's thinking about women? He is full of ego, & people will shatter it.
Earlier while campaigning in Dabra segment in Gwalior district, Kamal Nath had said,"Our candidate is not like her... what's her name? (people shout Imarti Devi, who is former State Minister) You know her better and should have warned me earlier... ye kya item hai"
Nath later clarified and said,"I said something, it wasn't to insult anyone... I just didn't remember the (person's) name...this list (in his hand) says item no.1, item no.2, is this an insult? Shivraj is looking for excuses, Kamal Nath doesn't insult anyone, he'll only expose you with truth"
