BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari criticised INDIA bloc leaders, Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi, for not responding to Moulana Sajid Rashidi's derogatory remarks against SP MP and Akhilesh's wife, Dimple Yadav, alleging that Akhilesh prioritises vote bank over his wife's dignity. "How will you protect Uttar Pradesh's women if you can't speak up for your wife's honour?" he said.
