Prayagraj: Rahul Gandhi, who is raising the issue of caste-based census in the country even before the Lok Sabha elections, on Saturday also raised the issue of reservation in beauty contests like Miss India. He said, there is no woman from Dalit, tribal or OBC community in the Miss India list. However, responding to Rahul, BJP announced the list from 1947 to 2022 and said that women from every section have achieved success in Miss India. Kiren Rijiju also termed Rahul's arguments as 'childish intelligence'.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has been raising the issue of caste-based census and reservation based on it for a long time. In Prayagraj, he said, I have seen the entire list of Miss India contest. I thought that Dalit and tribal women would be represented, but there is not a single Dalit, tribal or OBC woman in the list. There will be dance and singing, there will be talk of Bollywood, there will be talk of cricket, but no one talks about farmers and laborers. There will be no talk of representation of 99 percent of the country's population.

BJP surrounded Rahul Gandhi on the issue of reservation in beauty contests like Miss India. Along with answering Rahul Gandhi on this issue, BJP also told which woman won the Miss India contest in which year. Not only this, women of every class and religion of the country have won this private beauty contest. BJP leader Shahzad Poonawala wrote on X, Rahul Gandhi is now profiling Miss India winners on the basis of caste and religion. At the end of the list, he has written that in the year 2022, Riya Ekka became Miss India, who was a tribal girl from Chhattisgarh. Apart from this, Riya Tirkey was also the first tribal woman from Jharkhand, who reached the grand finale of Femina Miss India in 2022. Apart from this, a tribal girl from Odisha also won the award in Miss India International.

He said that apart from this, Dalit girl Niharika Singh has also won the Miss Art India award in this beauty contest. Apart from this, Muslim, Christian, Punjabi, Parsi girls have also won this contest. Finally, Shahzad Poonawala wrote, Aishwarya Rai, whom Rahul Gandhi makes fun of in his speeches, comes from the OBC community and became Miss World.

Apart from this, BJP leader and Minister of Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju wrote, Rahul Gandhi cannot divide the country. Now he wants reservation in Miss India contest, films, sports as well. This is not just a matter of 'childish intelligence', but those who hail it are equally responsible. Childish intelligence is good for entertainment, but do not ridicule the divisive tactics of our backward society.
