Shivraj asks why daughters need ‘kachori-samosa’ slogan
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.

The story leaves open whether Chouhan or the government will take any policy action on women's safety.
