BJP govt glorifying perpetrators of rape, turning Kashi into shopping mall: UP Cong chief

The Congress’ Uttar Pradesh unit chief Ajay Rai has accused the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh of “glorifying” perpetrators of rape and also turning Kashi into a shopping mall.

Interacting with reporters at Mahadeva Mela here on Sunday, he said the BJP MLA from Duddhi was already facing trial for rape under the POCSO Act when his party gave the ticket to fight the polls and become a legislator.

“This shows the BJP’s thinking towards women. The perpetrators of rape are being glorified in the BJP government. The victim got justice from the court,” the UP Congress chief said.
