New Delhi: Marking a new low in Kerala politics, former Kerala MP Joyce George made derogatory remarks against Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi. In a below the belt remarks, he said that girls should be careful as the Congress MP would only visit girls campuses.
The former MP has come in line of fire from Congress party for his misogynistic remarks against Rahul Gandhi.
Speaking at a rally in support of CPI(M) leader MM Mani, he said, “Rahul Gandhi’s programme is such that he will only visit women colleges. He will go there and teach girls to bend. My dear children, please don’t bend and stand in front of him…he is not married.”
This moron Joyce George of @cpimspeak referring to @RahulGandhi ‘s St Teresa college says don’t kneel down or bent infront of Rahul,be careful he is not married!
Is this endorsed by @SitaramYechury or comrade @vijayanpinarayi ?

Joyce George is a former independent MP from Idukki backed by the LDF (Left Democratic Front).
Kerala minister MM Mani, who was present on the stage, was caught on camera laughing as Joyce George made the remarks.
Congress up in arms over vulgar remarks
Incensed at Idukki’s former LS MP Joyce George’s remarks, Congress leaders are up in arms and are demanding action against him by the Election Commission.
We condemn this misogynistic comment by Joyce George.
