SHIVAMOGGA: Former AICC president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi apologise to every woman of the country for seeking votes for the NDA candidate from Hassan, Prajwal Revanna, whom he referred to as a “mass rapist”.
Repeatedly calling Prajwal a “mass rapist”, Rahul accused the incumbent Hassan MP of raping 400 women. He also alleged that the BJP’s top leadership, including PM Modi, despite knowing the crimes committed by Prajwal, went ahead and forged an alliance with the JDS for the Lok Sabha elections.
Addressing an election campaign meeting at Allamaprabhu Maidan in Shivamogga on Thursday, Rahul said that Prajwal raped 400 women and filmed the crime. “It is not a sex scandal, but mass rape. On the stage, Modi supported the mass rapist. Modi told Karnataka that if the people vote for the mass rapist, it will help him.
Every woman in Karnataka should know that when the PM was asking for your votes, he already knew the crimes Prajwal committed. Every BJP leader already knew that Prajwal was a mass rapist and still, they supported him and forged an alliance with the JDS.
The PM should apologise to every woman in the country that he brought a mass rapist on the stage and sought your support for him. The PM has insulted every woman in the country. Therefore, Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and every BJP leader should seek apology from women… mothers and sisters with folded hands and bowing their heads down,” Rahul charged.
Rahul said that the news regarding Modi supporting a mass rapist has spread across the world. “This is the ideology of the BJP. The BJP is ready to do anything for power and hence they needed an alliance with the JDS. Just imagine, the Indian PM in front of the world has sought votes for a mass rapist. He is ready to do anything for power,” Rahul said.
Stepping up his attack, Rahul alleged that despite having all intelligence and customs, the PM allowed Prajwal to escape to Germany and this is Modi’s guarantee. “If you are a corrupt politician and a mass rapist, the BJP will protect you,” the Congress leader alleged.
Displaying a copy of the Indian Constitution, Rahul alleged that the BJP has been trying to change the Constitution to end reservation and if they do so, the poor will get nothing.
“Your land will be snatched away and you will have no future. If Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, and poor general caste citizens have got power, it is because of the Constitution. Hence, the entire country needs to fight the BJP and RSS together for protection of the Constitution,” he said.
Rahul also sought an apology from BJP national president J P Nadda for calling those who seek equality as Naxalites and thereby attacking the Constitution.
