Opposition parties in Uttar Pradesh on Monday targeted the ruling BJP over the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-BHU molestation case demanding bulldozer action on houses of the accused apprehended days ago and asked why the car carrying these BJP workers never overturns. Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai said his party workers would gherao and protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency office in Varanasi on Tuesday against the alleged involvement of the BJP’s IT cell office-bearers in the case.
“Women and children are being molested and raped in Varanasi, the Lok Sabha segment of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi. To bring the real face of the BJP, on how they are patronising their criminal workers, our Banaras district unit and city unit will demonstrate outside the Prime Minister’s Varanasi office on Tuesday,” said Mr. Rai in Lakhimpur Kheri, while undertaking the Uttar Pradesh Jodo Yatra.
He said the Prime Minister must apologies to the daughters of Varanasi for the shameful and criminal conduct of the BJP workers, adding that the arrested accused Kunal Pandey, the convener of BJP’s IT cell in Varanasi; Saksham Patel, co-convener of the ruling party’s IT cell; and Abhishek Chauhan, the working committee member of the BJP IT cell, Varanasi, were sent to the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections so that they could not be arrested.
