Union Minister of State for Women and Child development, Savitri Thakur was unable to write 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' slogan in Hindi correctly during an event in Madhya Pradesh on Tuesday (June 18), drawing criticism from the opposition.
During an event, organised under the 'School Chalo Abhiyan' at a government school at Bramha Kundi in Dhar, the minister incorrectly wrote the slogan in Devanagari script on a whiteboard, PTI reported.
The video of the incident went viral on social media as the opposition, mainly Congress questioning her credentials.
Raising doubts over the competency of the Lok Sabha member from Dhar, senior Congress leader K K Mishra said, "It is the misfortune of democracy that people who hold constitutional posts and are responsible for big departments are not competent even in their mother tongue. How can they be capable of running their ministry?," quoted PTI.
On the same issue, the Leader of Opposition in the Madhya Pradesh assembly, Umang Singhar, slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi through a post on X in Hindi.
He wrote, "What kind of leadership is this? Does Prime Minister Narendra Modi want only rubber stamp ministers in his government?"
Questioning on how Thakur, being an MP and Union minister, could not even write two words properly, Singhar added "It can be understood what the children must have felt when they saw her writing incorrectly. What kind of leadership will she provide in the central government can only be imagined? Voters should have thought before electing such a public representative," he wrote.
