The BJP on Friday hit out at the Congress for ‘ill-treating’ its former national spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi. She joined the Shiv Sena after the Congress allegedly failed to act on her complaints of harassment.
The BJP said that despite the Congress being led by two women leaders, the gender discrimination in the party was obvious and the issue had exposed the party’s true face on the issue of women’s rights. “The circumstances under which she [Ms. Chaturvedi] had to leave are unfortunate and only expose the Congress’ true face as far as women’s rights are concerned,” said senior BJP leader Madhav Bhandari.
