Prostitutes are better than corrupt government officials: BJP MLA

Mangalore Today News Network

Uttar Pradesh , Jun 06, 2018 : Uttar Pradesh BJP lawmaker Surendra Singh continued his unending tirade against bureaucrats. A day after asking supporters to give officials a "ghoosa" (punch) if they ask for "ghoos" (bribe), the lawmaker on Tuesday said prostitutes are better than government officials.

"Officials se accha charitra vaishyaon ka hota hai, woh paisa lekar kam se kam apna kaam toh karti hain aur stage pe naachti hain. Par yeh officials toh paisa lekar bhi aapka kaam karenge ki nahi, iski koi guarantee hi nahi hai (Prostitutes are better than government officials; at least they take money and do their work and also dance on the stage. But these officials, even after taking money, don’t do their work. There is no guarantee that the work will be done)," Mr Singh said at a public meeting.

Absurd statements made by BJP lawmakers had prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reprimand his leaders last month saying "We make mistakes and give ’masala’ to the media... as if we are great social scientists and experts to analyse issues..." PM Modi had warned lawmakers and said not to "talk out of turn...it hurts the party image."

But the Prime Minister’s stern words did not deter the lawmaker from Bairia in Ballia.

Earlier this month Singh blamed parents and mobile phones for the increasing incidents of rape and said why do they let their children roam around freely. He has also gone on record saying "no one can rape a mother of three children." 

He had also called West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee "Surpanakha", the evil sister of demon king "Ravana" in Ramayana, and claimed that Bengal could turn into Jammu and Kashmir from where Hindus had to migrate.
