It’s sickening to learn the mindset of a 6-time legislator!
INC MLA #RameshKumar shouldn’t be allowed into Suvarna Soudha.
He has denigrated the sanctity of the Temple of Democracy by trivialising rape.
He must be thrown out of the party & assembly for his insensitive remarks.

Utterly shameful, disgraceful, misogynist and anti women statement by Congress MLA #RameshKumar from Karnataka.
This is reflecting the dominant mindset of the Congress party.
Will Priyanka Gandhi take any action on him or her sermons reserved for Uttar Pradesh only?

When rape is inevitable, lie down and enjoy it: Congress MLA Ramesh Kumar
“Ladki Hoon, Lad Sakti Hoon” is fine but when will Congress sack this sexist and misogynist MLA? Is it acceptable?
