An MLA from Maharashtra’s Amravati district has courted controversy by claiming that a “farmer’s son” has to settle for an inferior bride as best-looking girls prefer to marry someone who has a steady job.

Devendra Bhuyar, independent MLA from Warud-Morshi and supporter of deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, was talking about farmers’ woes while speaking at a gathering in Warud tehsil of the district on Tuesday.

“If a girl is beautiful, she will not like a person like you and me, but she will opt for a person having a job (while choosing her husband),” he said.

“Girls who are at number two,” that is, who are somewhat less good-looking, prefer someone who runs a grocery shop or paan kiosk, he said.

“A number three girl would like (to marry) the son of a farmer,” he said, adding that only girls who are “at the bottom of the lot” marry a boy from a farming family.

The children of such marriage too lack good looks, he added.

Congress leader and former Maharashtra women and child development minister Yashomati Thakur slammed Bhuyar for using such a language while talking about women.

“Ajit Pawar and those in power should keep their MLAs under control. No one will tolerate such categorisation of women. Society will teach you a lesson,” said Thakur, MLA from the same district.
