Ahead of critical bypolls in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party leader Rajpal Kashyap accused BJP of failing to ensure women's safety and criticized their desperation to win elections at any cost. Kashyap highlighted past incidents of violence against women and attacked BJP's governance and language.

In the lead-up to pivotal bypolls in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party's Rajpal Kashyap has railed against the BJP, accusing it of neglecting women's safety and alleging that the party prioritizes electoral victories over protecting women. His comments have sparked controversy, drawing attention to the party's stance on governance.

Addressing a rally in the Meerapur Assembly constituency, Kashyap cited past incidents, including the tragic case of two minor Dalit sisters who were raped and murdered in 2021, to underscore his claims of neglect under the BJP rule. A special court had convicted four individuals over the incident in 2023.

He attacked the BJP for failing to address issues such as inflation, unemployment, and public schemes.
