'Thok dijiye, Sir': Mahua Moitra mocks Yogi Adityanath over IIT-BHU rape

Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra has criticized Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath over the alleged involvement of local BJP leaders in the gang-rape of a BHU student. Moitra, addressing the delayed response, took to Twitter and questioned the time it would take to run a bulldozer on the properties of the accused. This comes two months after a woman student was reportedly gang-raped inside the IIT-BHU campus, leading to the arrest of three men.

In a press conference, Congress leaders also slammed the BJP, claiming that the ruling party's actions contradict its 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter) slogan. Mahila Congress chief Netta D'Souza labeled the BJP as the "Balatkaari (rapist) Janata Party" for women, highlighting concerns over the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh.

Opposition parties have alleged that those arrested in the case have ties to the ruling BJP, intensifying the criticism against the Yogi Adityanath government for its handling of the situation.
