India has become rape capital of world, PM silent over atrocities committed on women: Rahul Gandhi

Barkagaon, Hazaribagh Dec 9 (UNI) Star campaigner for the Congress party Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being silent over the atrocities being committed on the women and said that India has turned into a rape capital of the world.
Addressing an election rally at Barkagaon High School grounds here while campaigning for party candidate Amba Sahu and others on the seats which are going into the polls in the third phase, he said Mr Modi did not say a word when an MLA in Uttar Pradesh raped a girl and later an accident of the victims was done.
He said that women are scared coming out of their homes. He said that the women are being burnt and shot but the Prime Minister is not saying a word despite claiming to provide security to the women. Attacking the Prime Minister he said whenever Mr Modi comes to Jharkhand he claims about protecting the farmers and asked the people to tell the number of farmers who have been murdered for resisting forcible land acquisition.
"The farmers are being killed, their land is being forcibly taken away and the Prime Minister says from the stage that he is providing security to the farmers," he said and alleged that Raghubar Das was among the most corrupt Chief Minister in the country.
He said, wherever Congress has been in power whether Punjab, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh loan wavier has been provided to the farmers. He said, it was the Congress party which gave the land acquisition bill which was opposed by Modi with full force.
Mr Gandhi pointed the example of Chhattisgarh where the land acquired by the Tatas was returned back to the land owners as the company failed to set up Industries for a period of five years.
He said, in the neighbouring state while the MSP on paddy was Rs 2,500 in Jharkhand the farmers are getting Rs 1,300. He said that in the last 5-6 years Mr Modi gave loan wavier worth Rs three lakh 50,000 crore for the 10-15 corporates but did not wavied off the loans of the farmers and small shopkeepers.
