New Delhi: Samajwadi Party leader Naresh Agarwal has once again made a controversial statement on the Tehelka case. He has now said that an unforeseen fallout of the sexual assault case is that companies are now scared of hiring women.
“The flip side to this is that many organisations are now scared of hiring women employees,” Agarwal said.
This is not the first time that Agarwal has sparked a controversy with his statements. In the recent past, Naresh Agarwal has landed himself into trouble with his ‘tea-seller PM’ remark and also for comparing the BJP with a widow.
Agarwal had apparently attacked BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi stating that a “tea-seller” can never have national perspective. “Narendra Modi wants to become a PM. Someone rising from a tea shop can never have a national perspective. Like, if you make a ‘sipahi’ (constable) as ‘kaptan’ (Superintendent of Police) he can never have SP’s approach but will have that of a constable,” Agarwal told a rally in Hardoi.

Agarwal had also said the Prime Minister of a country has to be an able person of national stature. “As far as crowd is concerned, a ‘madari’ (street performer) also gathers it,” he added.
Agarwal had also compared the BJP to a ‘widow’. “In my village there is a saying that if you ask a widow for blessings, she will ask you to become like her. Similarly, the BJP is asking everyone to become like them,” Naresh Agarwal said.
Agarwal had even taken a swipe at Modi saying he doesn’t believe in marriages. “About family, when the BJP does not follow the trend of marriage, how will there be a family? He does not know the joy of being in a family,” he had said.
