Explaining her comments of calling Congress General secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra as 'thief's wife' and the controversy that followed, Union Minister Uma Bharti has explained her comments.

Taking to Twitter she has reiterated her claim and said that whatever she said is factually correct. She has further added that it hits hard because it is the truth.

कल से लगातार श्रीमती रॉबर्ट वाड्रा पर मेरी टिप्पणी को कुछ न्यूज चैनल ‘बिगड़े बोल’ कह रहे हैं जबकि मेरा पूरा कथन तथ्यात्मक रूप से सही है, पर चुभने वाला जरूर है। — Chowkidar Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) April 17, 2019

Explaining her comment further, she said, "Robert Vadra has been accused of corruption and is out on bail. The meaning of bail is that his crime is half identified. Bail does not mean clean chit. In such a situation what will his wife be called? I have only said that. When Robert Vadra's wealth was increasing manifold, was his wife not aware of it? At least I did not say that she is his partner in the theft."

तथ्य यह है कि रॉबर्ट वाड्रा पर भ्रष्टाचार के आरोप हैं तथा वो जमानत पर हैं। जमानत का मतलब होता है अपराध की अर्धस्वीकृति। जमानत का मतलब क्लीन चिट नहीं होता। ऐसी स्थिति में उनकी पत्नी क्या कहलाएंगी, मैंने वही कहा है। — Chowkidar Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) April 17, 2019

जब रॉबर्ट वाड्रा की संपत्ति में बेतहाशा इजाफा हुआ तो क्या उनकी पत्नी इससे अनजान थीं ? आप तो यही बड़ी बात मान लीजिए कि मैंने उनको उस चोरी में भागीदार नहीं कहा। — Chowkidar Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) April 17, 2019

Expressing that her comment is harsh and will be painful to the Congress, she said that the BJP also feels the same when the Congress' netas call Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'chor'.

"Its the truth that whatever I have said might cause pain, but it is offensive for us as well when the Congres' netas call our Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'suit-boot wala chor' and 'chowkidar chor'. Do they bother about that? We are both angry and pained. Our heart and soul both are hurt on such jibe."

यह सच है कि मेरी इस बात से तकलीफ हो रही होगी, किंतु जब हमारे प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी को @INCIndia के नेताओं ने ‘सूट-बूट वाला चोर’ कहा तथा इन दोनों भाई-बहन ने ‘चौकीदार चोर’ कहा तो हमें कितनी तकलीफ पहुंचती होगी ? तकलीफ और गुस्सा दोनों। दोनों से मन और आत्मा भर जाते हैं। — Chowkidar Uma Bharti (@umasribharti) April 17, 2019
