Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot’s remark on rape cases fans row, BJP mounts attack

Hindustan Times  

The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party in Rajasthan on Sunday termed “unfortunate” and “shameful” chief minister Ashok Gehlot’s recent remark that incidents of murder after rape have increased ever since a law to hang the rape accused came into force. While Union minister of Jal Shakti, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, flayed Gehlot for making “controversial statements to hide failures”, deputy leader of opposition in Rajasthan Assembly, Rajendra Rathore, dared him to move a resolution against the law. “On one hand, the party gives slogans like ‘I am a girl, I can fight ’ and on the other hand, their chief ministers give such comments on the laws taken out for the safety of the girls,” Shekhawat said, referring to the Congress’s campaign during the Uttar Pradesh elections earlier this year. “He should justify the statements he has made for hiding the failures of their government,” the Union minister said, demanding an explanation from the Congress on Gehlot’s comment.
