Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Slams Amit Shah, Questions BJP's Matrushakti Stand, Highlights Atrocities On Women

The contest of Karnataka is heating up and political parties are leaving no chance to hit out at each other. In the latest attack, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah slammed union minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah stating his party knew about Prajwal Revanna's sex scandals. He said despite knowing the reality, the BJP joined hands with Janata Dal (Secular) in the state and now trying to shield its ally partner. He also termed BJP's "matrushakti" stand as baseless.

Karnataka CM's statement came after Amit Shah questioned the state government's responsibility and why Congress did not take any action against the popular local leader.

Through a tweet, Siddaramaiah asked several questions to Amit Shah related to atrocities done on women in BJP-ruled states.

"Dear HM Amit Shah Avare, thanks for finally expressing outrage in the #PrajwalRevanna matter. You have also said you don't condone violence against women even if it is done by an ally of yours. One is tempted to believe you, but your conduct in the past has shown that talk is cheap:

Can we forget how Olympian Girls were sexually harassed by your MP? Who did you stand with? Your MP, of course, and you let the women athletes sit-in protests on the streets of Delhi for weeks.

Can we forget how rapist convicts of the Bilkis Bano were released on parole by the Gujarat BJP government and your party men garlanded them? It took the Supreme Court to reprimand your party's state govt.

Can we forget how your party stood behind the perpetrators in the Unnao case, where a minor Dalit girl was raped and murdered?

Can we forget how your party defended the perpetrators of rape in the Hathras case?

Can we forget how the BJP turned a blind eye when women were made to parade naked in Manipur?

Women of the nation know the truth, and it's time for you to wake up to the reality." Karnataka CM's post reads.

PRAJWAL REVANNA SCANDAL

The JD(S)-BJP candidate from the Hassan constituency Prajwal Revanna has been accused of sexual harassment and stalking charges. The sensitive matter came to light after a BJP leader wrote to the party state president claiming he is in possession of a pen drive containing more than 2900 obscene videos showcasing Prajwal Revanna.
