New Delhi (Sputnik): Reacting to opposition leader Rahul Gandhi's announcement that the Congress Party would provide minimum basic income for the poor if it is elected to power in the upcoming general elections, right-wing female academician and writer Madhu Purnima Kishwar controversially remarked, "Wait till he offers free sex for males for some days in a year".

This is not the first time that the activist has garnered flak for her controversial viewpoints in support of the right-wing. Kishwar's account was briefly blocked by Twitter in 2016 following allegations of her peddling fake news in favour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
