Industries Minister M.C. Sampath made a virtual gaffe while seeking votes in the Cuddalore constituency recently. The Minister, who was listing the welfare schemes of the government, said a monthly dole of ₹1,500 for women and the door delivery of rations were among the highlights of the AIADMK government.
When all basic requirements are met by the government, a situation will arise where women will not have to depend on husbands, he said.
