BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj on August 14 slammed the INDIA alliance over the Kolkata rape and murder case and alleged that they only protect the corrupt and rapists. "INDI alliance is such an alliance which only protects the corrupt and the rapists. This is an anti-women and anti-social alliance. Despite having a woman Chief Minister in West Bengal, TMC leaders were dishonouring mothers and sisters in Sandeshkhali inside the TMC office itself.

The Kolkata incident makes one's soul tremble. In Uttar Pradesh, an SP leader raped a 15-year-old girl. The Congress party does not take even a minute to raise the slogan 'Ladki hun lad sakti hun' but when it comes to Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, it maintains silence," said Bansuri Swaraj.
