Uttarakhand BJP chief Bansidhar Bhagat has received criticism from several Congress members after he called 79-year-old Congress leader Indira Hridayesh a "budhiya" (old woman). Bhagat, who was responding to Hridayesh's claims that several BJP workers were in touch with the Congress, had said, "Why would they contact you, old woman? What would one want to do with a sinking ship?"
