The Honourable Members of the Parliament had a hearty laugh post a slip-of-tongue by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan in the House on Thursday.

While inviting Uma Bharti to place a statement on the table of the House, Sumitra Mahajan addressed the Union Minister as ‘Shrimati Uma Bharti ji’. Uma Bharti don’t want to let it go unnoticed and quickly reacted – ‘I’m not yet married and there is no scope for it’ and the house erupted in laughter at once.

Immediately, Speaker who was seen laughing uncontrollably apologised and rectified her mistake with ‘Shri Uma Bharti ji’. In a lighter vein, Uma Bharti responded – ‘There is a no vacancy board now’.

Uma Bharti hails from Madhya Pradesh and she is associated with BJP from a very young age. Usually, She is addressed as ‘Sadhvi’ for renouncing the Worldly Life.
