Rajasthan MLA kicks up row; uses foul language against media

Jaipur, April 27

A day after tendering an apology over his comments on BR Ambedkar, Rajasthan BJP MLA Vijay Bansal has kicked up another controversy by using derogatory language against the media.

An audio of the Bharatpur MLA using foul language against journalists has gone viral on social media.

Bansal, in a conversation with Dalit Sena chief Mahendra Kumar, can be heard blaming the media for the controversy over his remarks on Ambedkar on April 14.

“The media should be beaten up...they are hell bent on maligning me...,” he said in the audio.

Meanwhile, many journalists have decided to stage a protest at Statue Circle in the city against the remarks.

Bansal was not available for comment.

The BJP MLA had kicked up a storm recently when he said, “BR Ambedkar was not the architect of the Indian Constitution.”

The comments had evoked sharp reactions from both the BJP and Congress. PTI
