Veteran actor and a Samajwadi Party (SP) MP, Jaya Bachchan, is known for losing her cool while sharing her opinions out in public and this time was no different either. She had an outburst in the Rajya Sabha session and lashed out at Bharatiya Janata Party, saying that "their bad days would begin soon". This comes hours after her daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate. 

Jaya got angry after a member hurled a personal remark at her during a discussion on the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Amendment) Bill. She went on to say, “Aapke buren di aayenge (your bad days will come). I curse you.” She added, “We want justice. We don't expect justice from there (treasury benches), but can we expect it from you? How are you protecting the members of this house or the 12 members sitting outside? How are you protecting them?" She also called out the chair presided by Bhubaneswar Kalita for not hearing what the opposition had to say.

A verbal spat started after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker Rakesh Sinha objected to Bachchan’s remarks against the Chair. The situation almost seemed out of control and the video of her losing cool in the session has been going viral. 

Here’s the video: 

As the video started doing the rounds on the internet, people bashed her for being arrogant and even said that her whole objective was to divert media attention from Aishwarya’s investigation. People also added that Jaya is proof that money can’t buy class as there have been numerous occasions wherein Jaya has lost her cool. People are in no mood to spare her for her fiery speech.

When asked about the Enforcement Directorate's grilling of her daughter Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the Panama Papers case, she said she did not want to talk about herself and her family. She said, "What happens to a sinking ship? Who are the first ones to run? This is exactly what is happening here. They (BJP) are scared of UP polls."

When asked about her comment on the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, she said, "Lakhimpur Kheri is a very good case of conveying to people that they (BJP) don't believe in justice and fairness."
