It should come as no surprise that this is the same man who once told Union minister Smriti Irani, “I know what you are.”
This is also the same man who used the august environs of Parliament to wax eloquent about “the beauty of south Indian women”.
“Your god is dark like (Union minister) Ravi Shankar Prasad (present in the House), but your matrimonial ads insist on white-skinned brides,” he said, apropos of nothing, in the Rajya Sabha during a debate on the government’s Insurance Bill.
Other Parliamentarians were left dumbstruck as Yadav made these comments. Some giggled, albeit nervously.
