Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said onMonday that the road accident of the woman from Unnao, who had accused an UttarPradesh BJP MLA of rape, was “shocking”.
Vadra wondered whether any hope for justice can be expectedfrom the ruling BJP, whose MLA Kuldeep Sengar is an accused in the case.
“The road accident involving the Unnao rape victim isshocking. Where has the CBI probe in this case reached?” she asked onTwitter. “Why is the accused MLA still in the BJP? Why is there laxity inthe security of the victim and the witnesses?”
“Can you hope for any justice from the BJP governmentwithout an answer to these questions,” the Congress leader added.
