“I was thrashed by party workers when I questioned the party’s decision to give a ticket to a rapist, Mukund Bhaskar for upcoming by-polls. Now, I’m waiting for Priyanka Gandhi Ji to take action. On one hand, our party leaders are fighting for justice for the Hathras case victim, and on the other hand, party ticket is being given to a rapist. It is the wrong decision. It will malign the image of our party.”

The Chairperson of the National Commission for Women, Rekha Sharma, also said that the body has taken cognizance of the matter. She said,

“We’ve taken cognizance of the incident wherein a woman party worker was beaten up by around 25 people. It’s a serious matter as when we are saying women should join politics, political people behave like gundas with a woman. It’s time that they should be punished.”
