Hyderabad
Here, BRS working president KT Rama Rao questioned both the BJP-led central government and the Congress government over the handling of the POCSO case allegedly involving Union Minister Bandi’s son Sanjay Kumar.
In a statement on Saturday, KTR questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the BJP’s ‘Beti Bachao’ campaign and asked if it was just a slogan. He demanded to know when Mr. Sanjay Kumar would be removed from the Union Cabinet and alleged that there was an unusual delay in taking legal action against the minister’s son.
Mr. Rama Rao asked whether the Union Minister and his family were given special treatment under the law. He demanded that Mr. Sanjay Kumar either resign on moral grounds or be fired immediately.
He targeted the Congress government and alleged that the state administration failed to provide justice to the victim and instead subjected her family to harassment. He questioned Congress president Rahul Gandhi over “selective outrage over crimes against women”.
He questioned the delay in registering the FIR and asked why the police did not act even though the minor girl had allegedly submitted evidence and why she had to fight for almost three months to get the case registered.
He asked if Mr Rahul Gandhi would visit Hyderabad and support the victim in Telangana as he had done elsewhere. He questioned the legal provisions under which the minor girl was booked in honey trap and extortion cases and accused the police of treating the victim and her family like criminals instead of protecting them.
Alleging an unholy nexus between the BJP and the Congress, KTR said the Telangana government was functioning as a “franchise of the BJP”.
