Bengaluru: BJP state president and MLA BY Vijayendra accused the Congress government of failing to address rising violence against women since coming to power. He expressed his concerns during the inauguration of the state-level workshop of BJP Mahila Morcha at Jagannath Bhawan, BJP State Office, Malleswar.
Vijayendra criticised the current state government, calling it “anti-people” and irresponsible in its handling of women’s safety issues.
He asserted that it is the duty of the opposition to fight against policies that harm the people, especially when the ruling government is allegedly ignoring such critical issues.
He highlighted several issues, including the scams involving the Valmiki Corporation and Muda, and claimed that these are indicative of a broader pattern of misconduct under the Congress government.
He also criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Home Minister Parameshwara, and other ministers for their alleged negligence in addressing violence against women.
Vijayendra further criticised the Congress government’s flagship initiative of free bus travel for women, implying that the scheme was an empty gesture that failed to address more pressing concerns.
The event was attended by BJP Mahila Morcha state president K.K. Manjula, national executive member Sonal Ben Patel, Legislative Council member Pratapasimha Naik, and other key members of the BJP Mahila Morcha.
