BJP MP compliments Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for saffron attire

New Delhi: A BJP MP from Maharastra on Friday complimented Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for wearing a saffron-coloured attire on the occasion of Gudi Padava which is celebrated as the New Year day in the state.

"Ma'am, I am bit disappointed for not being able to celebrate Gudi Padava in my home state. You must be also feeling the same.”

"However, I am happy that you have given me an opportunity to speak. I am also thankful to you for wearing a saffron-coloured blouse on the occasion (of Gudi Padva)," said Gopal Chinayya Shetty.
