Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over increasing incidents of rape and assault on women in the state.

She said the government will have to decide whether it is supporting the women or the criminals.

"It's the government's duty to maintain law and order. There have been 90 cases of rape in Unnao alone in the last 11 months. The government must decide whether it is with women or with rapists and criminals," she said speaking with the reporters.

A rape victim was set on fire by the accused in Unnao on Thursday. She is battling for life at a Delhi hospital with 90 per cent burns. She is said to be extremely critical.
