“Congress has broken trust of women”: PM Modi attacks Gehlot Govt of crime against women

RAJASTHAN: On Saturday, the Congress party came under heavy fire from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused it of "terrorism" and "atrocities" against women. "Where there is Congress government, terrorism, atrocities, all these things, are unbridled there," Prime Minister Modi said, criticising the establishment party for the alleged atrocities against women in the state. Appeasement is paramount to Congress, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it." PM Modi made the comments while speaking at a polling place in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. "Congress has broken the trust of the women in the state," Prime Minister Modi said, criticising Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on the matter of women's safety in the state.Can the state's chief medical officer protect the women in his care, given that he claims that women file false reports of rape? A party with such misogyny ought to be punished." "Ministers in Congress have a demeaning attitude towards the state's women... They claim that because Rajasthan is a land of men, rape is occurring there, PM Modi stated. The prime minister declared that the BJP is committed to enhancing law and order in the state of Rajasthan and had produced a robust manifesto. "The goal of the BJP is to elevate Rajasthan to the top state in the nation. In order to provide a secure atmosphere for our sisters and daughters, the BJP is determined to combat corruption in Rajasthan, the prime minister stated. He also reaffirmed his commitment to keeping the promises made by the BJP's Rajasthan branch. "We'll try our hardest to keep the promises that the Rajasthan BJP made. Modi also guarantees that you will receive these promises that he made to you. Asserting Congress's obligation to safeguard every citizen's life and property, the prime minister reminded lawmakers of their duty. However, crimes and atrocities against women, Dalits, tribal people, and the underprivileged have increased during the past five years. The prime minister attacked the government for the state's lack of law and order, claiming that no festival is observed here in a calm manner. "No holiday can be observed in peace here, not even Hanuman Jayanti, Ramnavmi, or Holi.Curfews, stone-throwing, and rioting all persisted in Rajasthan, according to PM Modi. In Rajasthan, the election is scheduled for November 25. The polls in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh ended on Friday. November 7 was the first day of the Chhattisgarh and Mizoram election phases. Telangana will hold its election on November 30. December 3 is the day that all state assembly elections will have their votes counted.
