Dr. Irfan Ansari, a
congress MLA from Jamtara in Jharkhand, has sparked outrage by pledging that the roads in his area will be smoother than actor
kangana Ranaut's cheeks. "Development of 14 world-class highways will begin shortly in Jamatara," Dr. Irfan Ansari says in a self-made video he tweeted on Friday. I can tell you that the highways will be as smooth as
kangana Ranaut's cheeks."
Dr. Irfan Ansari made headlines earlier this week when he claimed that using face masks for an extended period of time is harmful to one's health. The politician, who claimed to be a "MBBS doctor," said that wearing masks for long periods of time causes
carbon dioxide inhalation. Opposition politicians and
party members alike slammed Ansari's remarks, which came at a time when the country is experiencing a large increase in Covid-19 cases. With his newest comment, he has sparked a new round of controversy.
It's nothing unusual for politicians to compare their ideal highways to actresses' cheeks. RJD supremo Lalu
prasad Yadav sparked a controversy in 2005 when he vowed to make Bihar's highways as smooth as actress
hema Malini's cheeks. Rajendra Singh Gudha, a recently appointed
rajasthan minister, sparked outrage in
november 2021 when his words comparing the state's roads to actress
katrina Kaif's cheeks began circulating.
