Girdhari Lal Sahu, husband of Uttarakhand Minister Rekha Arya, faces widespread criticism for a video where he allegedly stated that women from Bihar are available for marriage for Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000. The remark, made at a BJP function, has drawn condemnation from Bihar's ruling NDA and opposition parties, including the JD(U) and RJD. The Bihar State Women Commission issued a notice to Sahu, who apologized, calling his statement general and unintentional. The RJD criticized the remark as reflecting BJP-RSS ideology.
