\nExternal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj today termed Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi\u2019s poser on women in the RSS as an instance of<\/p>\n
\u201cvulgarity\u201d and said that he did not deserve a reply from the BJP on the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cA senior leader of an important political party like the Congress who is being tipped to become its president should have refrained from making<\/p>\n
such vulgar comments about women,\u201d Sushma said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he had simply asked why women are not found in the RSS, I would have given him a logical reply. But the language he used about women<\/p>\n
dressing up in shorts was totally vulgar and does not deserve a response,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
At the Gujarat University convention centre here, the External Affairs Minister \u2014 flanked by Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and former CM<\/p>\n
Anandiben Patel \u2014 was holding the first \u201cwomen\u2019s town hall\u201d, answering questions from women on issues related to the Gujarat Assembly<\/p>\n
elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are 142 women-specific schemes in Gujarat. All these are for the welfare of women,\u201d Swaraj said.<\/p>\n
She also hit out at the Congress over its allegations that women did not get to play key roles in the BJP. \u201cA lot of canard was spread by the<\/p>\n
Congress against the BJP that our party is anti-women and that women are not given importance in the BJP.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed out that the BJP had given four women Chief Ministers, six women currently are Cabinet-rank ministers in the Modi ministry and<\/p>\n
four women were recently appointed Governors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe BJP track record is much better than the Congress. For 10 years, there were only two women members in the Manmohan Singh ministry,\u201d<\/p>\n
she claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
