Maharashtra Women and Child Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha has proposed the use of the word “Ganga Bhagirathi” to refer to widows in a bid to offer them respect. In the letter, Mr. Lodha said Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested the concept of referring to persons with disabilities as “divyang”, which resulted in such people gaining respect in society. “Prepare a detailed proposal for a discussion on the use of the word 'Ganga Bhagirathi' for widows on similar lines,” Mr. Lodha said in the letter. State Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe said Mr. Lodha was a "kalank" on progressive Maharashtra and must apologise to women.
