BJP gives slogan of 'Beti Bachao' but its actions are of 'Beti rulao': Cong

The Congress on Monday attacked the BJP over the alleged involvement of its local leaders in the gang-rape of a BHU student, saying the ruling party gives the slogan of “Beti Bachao” but its actions are of “Beti rulao (making daughters cry)”.

Mahila Congress chief Netta D’Souza said that on one hand the BJP says “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao”, and on the other hand the truth is that it has become “Balatkaari (rapist) Janata Party” for women.

Two months after a woman student was allegedly gang-raped inside the IIT-BHU campus in Uttar Pradesh, police arrested three men on Sunday and opposition parties alleged that they were BJP functionaries. The three accused claimed themselves to be the BJP’s IT cell members on their Facebook page.
