Raipur. On Wednesday, in the office of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Ekatm Complex, the leaders who left Congress and joined BJP held a press conference and fiercely targeted Congress. In this press conference, former mayor of Bilaspur Vani Rao, who left the repression of Congress and joined BJP, Municipal President Mahasamund Anita Raote, Jagdalpur Mayor Safira Sahu and District Panchayat President of Mahasamund Usha Patel and Aruna Shukla have made many serious allegations against Congress. In the press conference, the leaders said that Congress has expressed its commitment to ensure women’s safety in the state and has talked about strictly following the law for the protection of women and taking the cases of crime against women seriously and taking strict action against the criminals. Had said and promised that a women’s cell will be established in every police station in which independent investigation related to crimes against women will be conducted. But during the entire five-year tenure of the Congress, incest, abuse and violence against women continued and the Congress government turned a blind eye and the Congress leaders kept making statements and making undesirable statements. The Congress government had promised to provide 4 free cylinders to every rural family every year. A total of 20 cylinders were to be given but no one got anything.
Former Bilaspur mayor Vani Rao, who came to Bastar, said that Congress has always cheated women and used them only as vote banks. Has displayed political character. He said that Congress had betrayed women in the 2018 elections by swearing on Mother Ganga. Women are feeling suffocated in Congress. At the same time, under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Vishnudev Sai in the state, many schemes are being run for the respect and empowerment of women. That Congress has always shown the political character of deceiving women and using them only as vote banks. BJP leaders said that Congress has a track record of deceit and betrayal of women at every step. Of all the promises made for women, not a single promise has been fulfilled and those who could not give Rs 500 to women are making big announcements today. Congress is once again making a crude joke with women.
Congress had promised complete prohibition in Chhattisgarh, but the promise was not fulfilled. The Congress government, which betrayed women in the name of prohibition, even made a scam of Rs 2,000 crore. He said that Congress had also promised that under Mahtari Samman Yojana, Rs 500 per month and Rs 1000 will be given to widows and old women. But not even a single rupee was given to women in 5 years.
Raising the issue of women self-help groups, former member of the Women’s Commission, Anita Raote said that Congress had promised to waive off the loans of women self-help groups. It was also asked to make strict rules to protect women self-help groups from fraud and improve their economic condition. But far from waiving the loan, the work of the Ready to Eat Scheme was also taken away and the sisters of the women self-help groups were made unemployed overnight.
Jagdalpur Mayor Safira Sahu said that the state president of Congress misbehaves and insults women. Whereas in BJP, women have been honored not only in the schemes but also in the organization. However, when State President Deepak Baij was asked about insulting women, he said that these are wrong things. After leaving the party, he has his own ideology. Women are respected in Congress.
