nAam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday slammed the BJP for seeking support of controversial MLA Gopal Kanda to form the Government in Haryana, saying the saffron party is aligning with a rape accused in a State where it launched the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' scheme.
Senior AAP senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said, "In a State where 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) andolan' was launched, the BJP is seeking support from a rape accused.
If the BJP does not give an explanation, then his party will hold protests and "knock every door and tell people in Delhi how their mothers and daughters are unsafe" under the BJP rule."
His remark came a day after the election results for the Assembly polls in Haryana were declared.
Kanda, who won the Sirsa seat, on Friday, claimed that he and the Independents have "decided to extend unconditional support to the BJP".
Singh also accused the BJP of doing all kinds of immoral acts including horse- trading to form the Government in Haryana.
AAP spokesperson and leader Atishi said while on one hand, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is ensuring safety of women by installing CCTVs cameras across the city; the BJP is seeking the support of a rape-accused.
Atishi and Singh both claimed that BJP leaders, including Vijender Gupta and Parvesh Rana, had supported the victim and rallied in her support.
"Now seeing power, their stand has changed. I want to ask the Delhi BJP what they have to say now on the issue," Singh said.
