JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna is alleged of sexual abuse and other crimes against women in Karnataka. As the JD(S) is in alliance with BJP in Karnataka, the opposition Congress is blaming the latter for knowledge about all the crimes and its lack of actions taken for the same.
Recent statements by Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have been direct attacks on the same allegations on the BJP on the face of the next general elections in India.
The Prime Minister’s silent support to the criminals targeting daughters from Kaiserganj to Karnataka and Unnao to Uttarakhand boosts the morale of those culprits. Does being a part of Modi kin guarantee safety to these criminals? Rahul Gandhi questioned.
Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra intensified their attacks on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday as part of the Congress’s ongoing campaign against the latter due to claims of sexual abuse against JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna. In Karnataka, JD(S) and BJP are allies.
“As usual, Narendra Modi continues to keep a disgraceful attitude on the horrific crimes upon women in Karnataka,” Rahul wrote in an online post. He will have to explain why the BJP supported the demon who took advantage of hundreds of girls, even though they knew everything, in order to garner votes. How could such a large-scale criminal leave the nation so quickly?
He went on, “Criminals are getting more confidence from Kaiserganj to Karnataka and Unnao to Uttarakhand because of the Prime Minister’s subtle support for those who prey on daughters. Does belonging to Modi’s “political family” provide criminals with a “guarantee of safety”?
Priyanka Gandhi’s Statement:
Speaking in Assam, Priyanka said, “These people (BJP leaders) are talking about women’s safety. You are aware of the happenings in Karnataka. People associated with their party have committed such crimes (BJP and JD(S) are in alliance for Lok Sabha elections in Karnataka) thousands of videos have appeared. What can we find?
Modiji campaigned for a person who committed crimes. The criminal fled the country and no one stopped him. Neither Modiji nor Amit Shah stopped him. They let him escape. Wherever there were violations against women, be it in Hathras UP or Unnao, Modiji remained silent. Instead, they tried to protect the criminals… In Manipur, a jawan’s wife was stripped in a parade. Everyone has seen the video. Modiji, Amit Shah too must have seen it. So why were they silent?”
She also made an effort to appeal to female voters during her speech, saying that the BJP had done “nothing for the women.”
Women are the ones who bear the brunt of the load. They travel to jobs, to the fields, and to work. After that, they return home to take care of the kids, prepare meals, and tend to everyone. The BJP government is providing them with nothing. In actuality, you receive a 5 kg ration and Rs 1,200 in addition (under the Assam Government’s Orunodoi financial support initiative for women). “”He (PM Narendra Modi) tells you to be silent, so keep your mouth shut,” she continued.
She went on to criticize Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, saying that the “BJP washing machine” was to blame for the “big allegations against the former Congress leader and when he joined BJP, those allegations vanished.”
Priyanka was supporting party candidate Rakibul Hussain in Gauripur, Assam’s Dhubri. Hussain is in a three-way race with incumbent MP Badruddin Ajmal of the AIUDF, Zabed Islam of the AGP, and BJP partner.
