The day after a car in which the survivor of Unnao rape case, her family and lawyer were travelling was hit by an over-speeding truck in Rae Bareli , killing two members of the family while leaving her and the advocate critically injured, has sparked off a major political storm. The opposition took on the BJP on the issue.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Mayawati and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra have sought probe on the matter.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi lashed out at the BJP on his twitter handle . He in- fact made fun about BJP’s Beti Bachao – Beti Padhao campaign.

Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao A new special education bulletin for Indian women. Don’t ask questions if a BJP MLA is accused of having raped you.https://t.co/8ObmmFBl0L — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) July 29, 2019

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, General Secretary Congress UP East

Why do we give people like Kuldeep Sengar the strength and protection of political power and abandon their victims to battle for their lives alone? This FIR clearly states that the family was threatened and apprehensive. It even mentions the possibility of a planned accident. — Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) July 30, 2019

Mayawati, Former Chief Minister Uttar Pradesh

उन्नाव रेप पीड़िता के कार की रायबरेली में कल ट्रक से टक्क्र प्रथम दृष्टया उसे जान से मारने का षडयंत्र लगता है जिसमें उसकी चाची व मौसी की मौत हो गई तथा वह स्वंय व उसके वकील गंभीर रूप से घायल हैं। मा. सुप्रीम कोर्ट को इसका संझान लेकर दोषियों पर सख्त कार्रवाई सुनिश्चित करनी चाहिए। — Mayawati (@Mayawati) July 29, 2019

साथ ही स्थानीय बीजेपी सांसद साक्षी महाराज द्वारा जेल में रेप आरोपी बीजेपी विधायक से मिलना यह प्रमाणित करता है कि गैंग रेप आरोपियों को लगातार सत्ताधारी बीजेपी का संरक्षण मिल रहा है, जो इंसाफ का गला घोटने जैसा है। मा. सुप्रीम कोर्ट को इसका संज्ञान अवश्य लेना चाहिए। — Mayawati (@Mayawati) July 30, 2019
