‘Bihar Me 20-25 Hazaar Me Mil Jaati Hain Ladkiyan’: Uttarakhand Minister Rekha Arya’s Husband Girdhari Lal Sahu Sparks Row With Crude Remark (Video)
A video of Uttarakhand minister Rekha Arya’s husband Girdhari Lal Sahu sparked outrage after he told youths they should have “three or four children” and said, “Bihar me 20–25 hazaar me mil jaati hain ladkiyan.” He later apologised, claiming his remarks were “distorted” and meant in another context.
The husband of Uttarakhand minister Rekha Arya has landed the ruling establishment in controversy after a video of his remarks went viral. Girdhari Lal Sahu, spouse of a minister in the Pushkar Singh Dhami government, made the comments during a public event in Dhaulaghat, Someshwar in Almora district on December 23. Addressing youths, Sahu asked if they were married and remarked that “at this age, you should have three or four children.” He then added, “Bihar me 20–25 hazaar me mil jaati hain ladkiyan,” a statement that sparked outrage and embarrassment for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. As criticism mounted and social media erupted, Sahu issued a video apology, claiming, “My words were distorted. I was referring to a friend’s wedding.” He further said, “If anyone was hurt by my statement, I apologise with folded hands,” while accusing opponents and the Indian National Congress of politicising the issue.
