“It is unfortunate that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra sought votes for someone who is accused of a heinous crime like rape. She chose to keep mum on the allegation. She and Rahul Gandhi are not with the people of Uttar Pradesh but with those accused of rape and murder and those who protect them,” Sharma told reporters here.
He hit out at the Uttar Pradesh government for the “lack of action” against SP MLA Verma, who has been booked for the murder of a woman who had earlier accused him of raping her.
Sharma said it was unfortunate that Rahul and Priyanka targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi but said nothing about such serious allegations against SP candidates.
Priyanka yesterday joined brother Rahul in attacking Modi over his “UP’s adopted son” remark, saying the state did not need an outsider when it had its own to take it forward, while seeking votes for the SP-Congress alliance.
