At an election rally in Shivamogga city of Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi said by sharing dais with a ‘mass rapist’ Narendra Modi has ‘insulted’ the women of the country and that Modi, Union Minister for Home Amit Shah and all Bharatiya Janata Party leaders should ‘bow their heads with folded hands and tender an apology to the women of the country.’
Rahul alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi allegedly did nothing to stop Prajwal fleeing the country to Germany even though having Customs among other officials concerned work under his supervision and accused the BJP leaders of initiating steps to protect’ corrupt’ and a ‘mass rapist.’
In his campaign, Rahul said Modi had sought votes for a ‘mass rapist’ stating that votes to Prajwal Revanna will strengthen his hands and asked the women of the country to understand what Prajwal Revanna has done to women?
