Speaking on the comment made by Bidhuri, who has been fielded against Atishi for the Kalkaji constituency seat, Sisodia said, «This is the character of the BJP; whatever Ramesh Bidhuri says, he would not say it without discussing it with his leaders or on the instructions of senior leaders of his party.»
He added that the remarks made by Bidhuri were part of a larger pattern of disrespect towards women in politics and further pointed out that Bidhuri's comments were made during a public event where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was appealing to the people of Delhi to vote for his government.
He questioned whether the Prime Minister supported Bidhuri's actions and whether the BJP was endorsing such behaviour in Delhi's political sphere.
