Crimes against women increased under Congress rule in Telangana, says Bandi Sanjay
Instead of empowering women, the government is demolishing homes, targeting vegetable vendors and forcing pregnant women onto the streets, says Karimnagar MP
Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay alleged that there was a sharp increase in crimes against women under the Congress rule in Telangana.
Responding to the claim made by Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate that the Telangana government was giving Rs 2,500 per month to 90 lakh women, the Karimnagar MP said the Congress leaders were making false claims that their government in Telangana implemented promises made to women.
“Telangana women didn’t get even Re 1 from Congress govt. Instead of empowering women, they are crushing them – demolishing homes, targeting vegetable vendors, and forcing pregnant women onto the streets. This isn’t governance – it’s organised cruelty against women,” Sanjay posted on X.
Under Congress’ one-year rule in Telangana, rape cases skyrocketed by 28.94 per cent, he alleged. “Women’s murders rose by 13 per cent. Kidnappings and abductions surged by 26 per cent. Outraging women’s modesty increased by 8 per cent. Over 10,000 women faced harassment in public places under Congress rule. Is this their vision of empowerment?” he asked.
