BJP accuses Rajasthan government of 'save the rapists' slogan after minor's rape

• BJP accuses the Congress-led Ashok Gehlot government in Rajasthan of adopting the slogan 'save the rapists' following a minor's rape by a police official
• The BJP criticizes the Rajasthan Police and administration for allegedly taking actions to protect the accused in the rape case
• Congress leader Jairam Ramesh counters the BJP's criticism by pointing to BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, claiming it is "number one" in atrocities against women

In response to the disturbing incident of a minor's rape by a police official in Dausa, Rajasthan, the BJP launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led Ashok Gehlot government, accusing it of adopting the slogan 'save the rapists.' The BJP strongly condemned the brutal rape of a 4-year-old and criticized the Rajasthan Police and administration for allegedly taking actions to protect the accused.

This incident prompted the BJP to draw attention to what they perceive as a contradiction between Prime Minister Modi's 'Beti Bachao' (Save the Daughter) campaign and the alleged actions of the Gehlot government, dubbing it 'Balaatkari Bachao' ('Save the Rapists').

In a counterattack, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh responded by pointing to the BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh, claiming it to be "number one" in terms of atrocities against women. The exchange highlights the intense political reactions surrounding incidents of sexual violence and the ongoing discourse on women's safety and justice in India.

A shocking case of brutal rape of a 4 year old innocent has come to the fore in Rajasthan.

Notably, the Rajasthan Police and administration got into 'action' to institutionally save the accused!
