Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP Over Lawlessness in States Amid Heinous Crime Surge

Rahul Gandhi condemned the BJP for poor law and order in its governed states, citing the recent assault on Army officers and rape of a woman in Madhya Pradesh. He highlighted the BJP's lack of seriousness towards increasing crimes against women, echoed by Priyanka Gandhi's comments on widespread women's safety issues.

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has sharply criticized the BJP over a violent incident in Madhya Pradesh where two Army officers were attacked, and one of their female companions was raped. He accused the BJP-led states of having severely deteriorated law and order, describing the government's attitude towards rising crimes against women as 'extremely worrying.'

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also joined in the condemnation. She pointed out the irony of the Prime Minister's grand rhetoric on women's safety contrasted with the grim reality faced by women nationwide. Priyanka Gandhi emphasized that women remain unsafe regardless of location, which undermines their daily morale.

According to authorities, a group of men attacked the officers and their female friends during a picnic in Indore district. Police investigations revealed that the assailants beat the officers and raped one of the women. The incident caused significant uproar, further highlighting the pressing need for effective measures to protect women and ensure law and order in BJP-ruled states.
