Will Dinesh Gundu Rao couple's reply stop Shobha from making personal comments?

BJP leader and MP Shobha Karandlaje has taken a front seat and is seen commenting like a firebrand, especially after RSS worker Sharath's death in Mangaluru.

It looks like Shobha has taken every leader from other parties for granted and is crying foul about the leaders. Recently, she made a comment using the word 'impotent'. Now, she is back again by attacking KPCC Working President Dinesh Gundu Rao by sarcastically asking him if he has married a Dalit.

Since BJP leaders are being criticised for their frequent visits to Dalits houses and breakfast and lunch culture which started just a month ago, the Congress leaders had asked if the BJP leaders will be allowed to marry a Dalit?

The Congress leaders had told that having breakfast at Dalits' houses will not help them if you can get your daughters married to Dalits. This will help erase the inequality.

This angered Shobha, and she made a personal attack and laughed about the fact that Gundu Rao was not married to a Dalit girl.

But giving a befitting reply, Dinesh Gundu Rao has said that "I am a Hindu, and I got married to a Muslim girl. We are married for two decades. There is no point asking me about marrying a Dalit girl. In fact, Shobha is not married, and she should get married to a Dalit and set a precedence. The entire state knows whom I have married and what's wrong in that.  If I had fallen in love with a Dalit girl then, I would have married her for sure. I don't discriminate in the name of caste and religion," he had said.

Dinesh Gundu Rao's wife Tabu too reacted on the matter.

Tabu said "I come from a Muslim family and Dinesh from a Brahmin family. We are happily married for over two decades now. Religion never came between us. In fact, we are still freely living according to our beliefs and are not converted and are happily living with balance. We have gotten used to celebrating and respecting all the religions. We are truly representing unity in diversity. I criticise Shobha for interfering in my family matters for political gain. It looks like creating tension between communities is the only aim of Shobha. It is unfortunate that a leader like Shobha has stooped to this level," she said.

This looks like a befitting reply to Shobha Karandlaje, so will she stop making remarks on the personal front?
