The controversial Bihari girls remark has sparked strong political reactions across Bihar and beyond. The issue started after Girdhari Lal, husband of a BJP minister from Uttarakhand, allegedly made a statement about the “price” of Bihari girls for marriage. The comment quickly went viral and triggered widespread anger.
Reacting sharply, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Shambhu Patel condemned the statement and called it deeply insulting to women from Bihar. He said such remarks damage the dignity of women and shame society. Patel also used strong language while expressing his anger and demanded strict action against the person responsible.
The Bihari girls remark also drew criticism from opposition leaders and social groups. Many leaders said the comment reflects a backward mindset and cannot be tolerated. Women’s organisations demanded a public apology and legal action.
The Bihar State Women’s Commission took notice of the issue and sought an explanation. Meanwhile, political pressure continued to mount on the BJP leadership to respond clearly.
Later, Girdhari Lal claimed his words were misunderstood and said he did not intend to insult anyone. Despite this, the controversy remains active, with many demanding accountability and respect for women.
