The Union minister also hit out at West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee for losing her cool when a group of men shouted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in front of her car, asking whether it is a crime to chant the phrase in the state.

A video on the incident had gone viral on social media. Sadhvi Jyoti took charge as the minister of state in ministry of rural development on Monday.
