BJP accuses Rahul Gandhi of misconduct with women cop during anti-CEC protests
· India · Times of India, NDTV, Indian Express
BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, alleging he inappropriately touched a woman police officer during anti-Chief Election Commissioner protests near the Supreme Court premises. The party labelled Gandhi "anarchic, immature and irresponsible", accusing him of violating the dignity of an on-duty woman cop and compromising her dignity. Bhatia alleged Gandhi shouted slogans and created a ruckus while bringing thousands of supporters to the Supreme Court, questioning whether such conduct was befitting a responsible Leader of the Opposition. The BJP further claimed Gandhi's behaviour was inconsistent with his public messaging on women's rights.
Why it matters
The BJP's allegations could escalate political tension around constitutional appointments and raise scrutiny of opposition conduct in parliamentary spaces, potentially impacting the credibility of protest movements and women's safety in political rallies.
