LUCKNOW:<\/strong> Jaya Prada, the apparent target of an outrageous comment by former colleague-turned-rival candidate Azam Khan of the Samajwadi Party, said today that he should not be allowed to contest elections for the sake of democracy and for women. “Should I die? Then will you be satisfied,” the former actor, a BJP candidate from Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur, said today.<\/p>\n

“You think I’ll get scared and leave Rampur? But I won’t leave,” Jaya Prada, 57, said.<\/p>\n

“He shouldn’t be allowed to contest elections. Because if this man wins, what will happen to democracy? There’ll be no place for women in society,” she said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Azam Khan said at an election rally, in Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s presence: “For 10 years the person sucked the blood of Rampur, I held that person’s finger and brought the person to Rampur. I made her familiar with the streets of Rampur. I didn’t let anyone touch her. No dirty words were used. You made the person your representative for 10 years. It took you 17 years to understand the person’s real face. I realised in 17 days that the underwear beneath is of the khaki colour.”<\/p>\n

The comments have provoked waves of disgust and anger. Azam Khan, who once helped Jaya Prada in Rampur when she was a Samajwadi Party candidate, is a repeat offender when it comes to unfiltered statements. In the past, his comments even had Jaya Prada bursting into tears on stage.<\/p>\n

After joining the BJP last month, Jaya Prada said she was driven out of Rampur because of abuses, indecent photos of her and even an acid attack attempt.<\/p>\n

She said abuses from Azam Khan were not new for her. “You might remember that I was a candidate from his party in 2009 when no one supported me after he made comments against me. I’m a woman and I can’t even repeat some of the words he used for me. I don’t know what I did to him that he is saying such things.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
