In the wake of harassment of a Union minister's daughter and some other incidents of crime against women, the Congress claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) double engine governments in the country are proving to be a curse for daughters and asserted that it will hold such dispensations accountable on women's safety.
Speaking at a press conference, All India Mahila Congress chief Alka Lamba said, ‘The BJP's 'double engine' governments in the country are proving to be a curse for daughters. A case of harassment of Union minister's daughter and her friends has come to light in Maharashtra. After the FIR, it was revealed that the molester was a former BJP councilor -- Piyush More’. She claimed that there are photographs of More with the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and other top BJP leaders.
Mahila Congress chief further said that if the union minister does not get justice, she should resign and fight for her daughter and other daughters facing similar situation. She criticized the ruling party, citing figures of crimes against women from states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana and Rajasthan.
Alka Lamba’s remarks came a day after Jalgaon police arrested two more men and detained a minor boy in connection with the harassment of the Union minister's daughter and some of her friends.
