1.Azam Khan's 'khaki underwear' remarks on Jaya Prada
"I had led the person to Rampur by holding the finger. I familiarised the person with the streets of Rampur. I didn't let anyone touch the person or even use filthy language. You made the person your representative for 10 years. But the difference between us - people of Shahbad, people of Rampur, people of Uttar Pradesh, people of India - is that you took 17 years to recognise the person, and I realised in just 17 days that the underwear the person wears is khaki," said Khan while addressing an election rally in Rampur.
Khaki is identified as the colour of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the BJP, as its activists used to wear khaki half-pants and now wear khaki pants.
As a Samajwadi Party leader, Jaya Prada had earlier won the Rampur seat in 2004 and 2009. In 2010, she was expelled from SP on account of alleged anti-party activities.
2.'Those who make Ali-Bajrang Bali fight, their rule should go'
"BJP candidate! You told TV channels after performing 'puja' that there is a 'daanav' in Rampur. I have to finish. I did not know what 'daanav' meant. My Hindu friends told me that it means 'rakhshas," said Khan.
"Remember for two people I was expelled from the SP. I did not rebel. I did not complain and I waited. I did not change the boat," he said.
Urging people to stay united, the SP leader said: "Hug Dalits because injustice has been done to them for thousands of years. Think and decide but once you decide, don't go back. Stay united and you will see that the throne from here to Delhi will be yours."
"It is not a question of victory or defeat. It is not even a question of my victory or defeat. The question is if the change will happen in the country or not," he said.
"Let one Azam Khan get sacrificed but (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi's cruel rule must go way. Those who make Ali-Bajrang Bali fight, their rule should go," he said.
3.BJP reacts
Condemning Azam Khan's comments, UP BJP spokesperson Chandra Mohan tweeted, "Extremely disgusting and embarrassing. The level of politics cannot fall any further. This is the real face of Azam Khan and his so-called socialist party, wherein women are put down in this manner. But Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati should also comment on such disgusting comments being made against Jaya Prada," he said.

4.NCW takes note
National Commission for Women Chairperson Rekha Sharma termed Khan's alleged below-the-belt remarks against the actor as "extremely disgraceful" and said the women panel will be sending a show cause notice to him.
Reacting to Khan's remarks, she tweeted that the NCW would also be requesting the Election Commission to bar him from contesting elections.
Sharma reacted after taking cognisance of another tweet by an user, who had also uploaded a video of the SP leader's purported jibe.
"Extremely disgraceful," said Sharma, reacting to Khan's remark. "Aazam Khan is always abusive and disrespectful towards women. The NCW will take suo motu cognisance and will send a notice to him. Will request Election Commission to bar him from contesting elections, tweeted the NCW chairperson.
5.I called him brother but he insulted me: Jaya Prada on Azam Khan
This came a day after Jaya Prada said she called Azam Khan brother but he insulted her.
Addressing a public rally at Rampur, Prada said, "Azam Khan Sahab, I called you my brother, but you wished ill of me in the name of calling me your sister. Do our brothers look at us as a dancer? That is why I wanted to leave Rampur."
Jaya Prada said that indecent photos of her were circulated in Rampur and she had asked SP patriarch Mulayam Singh for help but no politician tried to save her and that was the reason she had to leave the constituency.
"I told Mulayam Singh Ji that my indecent images are being circulated in Rampur, save me. But no politician tried to save me. That was why I had to leave Rampur," she said.
