# Shivraj asks why daughters need ‘kachori-samosa’ slogan 2026-10-03T21:56:57+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday, 3 October 2026, in Bhopal said society must introspect after a social media slogan ‘Ek kachori, do samosa, in mardon ka kya bharosa’ (one kachori, two samosa, what trust can we have in men) went viral. Speaking at the ‘Navgati’ Education Scholarship programme, he said daughters' safety and honour are not just a family responsibility but that of the entire society. He noted that often the people who look at girls with wrong intentions are not strangers but acquaintances. Chouhan urged men, sons, and their parents to introspect, adding that if daughters cannot trust men, society and the country cannot move forward. Both bhaskar.com and amarujala.com report he said the slogan should never be successful or meaningful. He described women as mothers and daughters as goddesses and pledged to keep working for their respect and safety. No date for a next step was announced. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both bhaskar.com and amarujala.com report the same speech by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan reacting to the viral slogan.
