Rabri Devi wants 'sanskari' daughters-in-law for her sons, not 'mall-going' girls

Former Bihar Chief Minister and wife of Lalu Prasad Yadav, Rabri Devi has stoked a controversy after she said she wants a 'well-cultured girl' for her sons.

She expressed her desire for 'desi' girls for her sons - Tej and Tejaswi during the 70th birthday celebration of Lalu Prasad Yadav, according to a Times of India report.

"I want a girl who will take care of the house, respect elders like me and not those who go to malls and cinema halls (Cinema hall aur mall jane wali ladki nahi chahiye. Ghar chalaane wali, bade buzurg ka aadar karne wali, jaise ki hum hain, waisi ladki chahiye​).

The remarks have come amidst corruption charges swirling around the family. The BJP had also accused Lalu, daughter Misa Bharti and his two sons Tejashwi and Tej Pratap, both ministers in the Bihar government, of involvement in corrupt land deals worth over Rs 1,000 crore, and asked the central government to probe one such transaction in Delhi.

Meanwhile, Rabri's remark has not gone well with Twitterati.

I have a different view on what Rabri Devi said
You cannot change the thought process of someone who is old
