Chinmayanand case: Why is UP police going slow?, asks Priyanka

Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to Twitter to slam the Uttar Pradesh government over the Shahjahanpur rape case where former union minister Swami Chinmayanand has been accused of sexual misconduct by a law student.

New Delhi:Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday attacked the Uttar Pradesh government over the Chinmayanand case, alleging that the Yogi Adityanath dispensation's "antics" have made it clear that it has "nothing to do with women's security".

BJP leader and former union minister Swami Chinmayanand have been accused of sexually exploiting a law student.

"The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, through its antics, has made it clear that it has nothing to do with women's security," Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

She asked why the state police have adopted a "lax approach" in dealing with the case.

"After all, why did the complainant girl had to come before the press to seek security? Why is the UP police going slow? Is it because the accused is from the BJP?" the Congress general secretary said.

Priyanka also tagged a media report on why a rape case is not being registered by the UP police against the BJP leader.
