Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Friday ridiculed Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's statement on women empowerment and alleged that the Biju Janata Dal president is "anti-women."
Referring to Patnaik's statement where he named New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Union Minister said: "Had the Chief Minister taken names of Union Ministers like Sushma Swaraj and Nirmala Sitharaman, the women of India and Odisha would have got inspiration."
