BJP Karnataka State President B.Y. Vijayendra on Wednesday accused the Congress-led government of allowing an assault on a BJP woman worker in Hubballi. He alleged that the woman was assaulted and disrobed during her arrest. Vijayendra strongly condemned the incident while speaking to reporters in Bengaluru.
He demanded immediate action against the police personnel involved. Vijayendra urged Home Minister G. Parameshwara to suspend the officers responsible. He said such incidents damage public trust in law enforcement. The BJP, he added, would not remain silent on attacks against its workers.
In a post on social media platform X, Vijayendra described the incident as disgraceful and shameful. He said the episode amounted to an attack on a woman’s dignity. According to him, the incident reflected a serious failure of governance and law enforcement in Karnataka.
The BJP leader further alleged that the state was moving towards vendetta-driven governance. He claimed that the rule of law had collapsed under the present regime. Vijayendra also accused the police of shielding a Congress corporator. He said an FIR should have been registered against the corporator instead of BJP workers. The government has not issued an official response yet.
