Dotasra courted controversy after he purportedly said at an event on Monday that schools that have more women staff are bound to see more squabbles.
"... either the principal or teacher would have to take 'Saridon' due to their inner conflicts. If they overcome this, they will get ahead of men," he had said.
Anuradha Maheshwari, Jaipur president of BJP Mahila Morcha, termed Dotasra's comments "objectionable".
"Today on Dussehra, we burnt the effigy of Dotasra. He should apologise to women and resign," she said.
