Bengaluru: BJP protests against govt over rise in rape cases


Daijiworld Media Network – Bangalore (SP)

Bengaluru, Nov 6: Cases of rape have seen an alarming increase in the state of late. The entire state is livid at the casual approach owned by the government in addressing this issue. Accusing the government of woefully failing to curb cases of rape and bringing the guilty to book, BJP leaders staged protest in the city on Wednesday November 5.

BJP activists, led by former chief ministers, B S Yeddyurappa and Jagadish Shettar, state BJP president, Prahlad Joshi, and MP, Shobha Karandlaje, held a huge protest. The BJP leaders, addressing the protesters, gave a severe tongue-lashing to the government for its lackadaisical approach.

The leaders including women activists began their march from the BJP office towards the official residence of the chief minister with the aim of laying seize to it. However, the policemen stopped them near Nehru Circle, Sheshadripuram, and took them into custody.

During this period, tension mounted between women BJP activists and BJP, as there were allegations that police personnel behaved rudely and improperly with MP, Shobha Karandlaje. Women activists then rolled down on the road and raised slogans against the police.

Shobha, speaking later, expressed anger at the home minister and police for their stubborn attitude and improper conduct. City police commissioner, M N Reddy, tendered apology to Shobha relating to the episode.

    This BJP has no other work. They are taking this issue to a political agenda. What they were doing when their Ministers involved in Rape Cases? Now Mrs Shobha Yedyurappa is screaming in streets. When Yedyurappa is pulling the saree, no problem? BJP, Bharathiya Jungli Party.

    Dear reader's,

    The BJP ruled Madhya Pradesh Ranks first among the atrocities against women in India.

    Now BJP wants to repeat the success of 'Nirbaya' case against sheila Dixit govt and UP sisters hanging for Mulayan Singh Govt. This seems early preparation for assembly election destabilise Siddu Congress govt returning to power.

    In reality the mandate given by Kannadiga are misusing watching port in the sanctity of assembly.

    Does it have right to protest when it's own sitting Minister accused in rape? The Swachh Bharat andolan need to be started from political system rather than one day photo shoot.

    Why Congress people are not demanding justice for Nandita and other rape victims case ? Don't they have stisters/mother at home ?..Rape is a dangerous virus..Everyone must oject and portest it whether Congres,BJP,Communist...Today Home Minister Mr.George gave such a stupid statement that my anger towards Italian lady increased like anything..This ordianary man was given extra ordinary post by Sonia ignoring other senior leaders..100% proof for JAATI RAAJKIYA..I bet this man can't win in Kerala if he contests election there..Sheila Dixit was shown door due to Nirbhaya rape case..Now next turn..Siddu will be given red card by Kannadigas for Nandita and many innocent children rape ..

    Note: Our people can tolerate anything..no water..no electricity..corruption..communal violence..no problem..ok...BUT NOT CHILD or MINOR RAPE..Mr.Siddu and Italian Lady are responsible..You have to pay the price..

    The rape issue and the concern about the ills of it should not be limited to any single party or organization.
    This is a sort of National concern and the citizens of India should raise their voice to force the government to look into the havoc of such a filthy epidemic victimizing innocent and helpless girls in the society.
