SC Decision In Unnao Case Stamp On UP Govt’s Failure: Priyanka Gandhi Vadra

Mumbai: Claiming that the Supreme Court’s verdict in Unnao rape case is a “seal”, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the “jungle raj” prevailing in Uttar Pradesh and the failure of the state government.

The Supreme Court on Thursday released a number of directives in the court, including directing Uttar Pradesh court to transfer all the five cases registered in connection with the incident of Unnao rape, to a court in the national capital.

“The Supreme Court’s decision is a stamp on the prevailing jungle raj in Uttar Pradesh and the state government’s failure,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

“The BJP has finally acknowledged that it had given protection to a criminal and by expelling him it has taken at least one step to correct its mistake,” she said.

Facing the public resentment and the opposition’s attack on the issue, the BJP expelled MLA Kuldeep Sengar (accused of Unnao rape) from the party.

A four-time legislator was arrested on April 13 last year when a woman accused him of raping him in 2017 when he was a minor.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court had also directed that the case should be held on a daily basis and it should be completed within 45 days.

The apex court also directed the Uttar Pradesh government to pay Rs 25 lakh as interim compensation to the rape victim.

The Congress had said that the accused of Unnao rape was an admission of the removal of the culprit by the BJP and the culprit was “guilty”, and asked why Modi was silent on the “Beti Bachao Beti Padhaon Gang” case.
