In UP’s Unnao rape case, BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is an accused. Meanwhile in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, where an eight-year-old was raped and murdered, BJP leaders have been demanding a CBI probe, which is seen by many as a move to ‘shield the accused.’

Bengaluru,May 1: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to land in Karnataka on Tuesday for campaigning, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has a few questions for the prime minister.
Dear @narendramodi ಅವರೇ,
Heard you are visiting Namma Karnataka tomorrow. We welcome you to our state.
While you are here, we Kannadigas would like you to address the following concerns.

In next tweet, Siddaramaiah asked Modi to clarify wheather Janardhan Reddy would campaign in support of B Sriramulu, the party candidate from Badami.
Would G Janardhan Reddy be joining your rallies here? You have given his family & friends 8 tickets, hoping it will help BJP in 10-15 seats.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then, you lecture us on corruption.
Please end this hypocrisy. Kannadigas aren’t wearing Kamala on their ears.
Scam-tainted Reddy has not been included in the BJP list, but will be campaigning for his “friend” Sirarmulu.
Speaking to reporters earlier, BS Yeddyurappa, the CM canidadte from BJP had said: “Janardhan Reddy has not been included in the electioneering list of the BJP. He is campaigning not for the party, but for his friend Sriramulu.”
Siddaramaiah then asked the prime minister if Yeddyurappa is still his party’s chief ministerial candidate, when he reportedly is unwilling to share a stage with the latter.
You first make scam tainted @BSYBJP your party’s CM face in Karnataka. Then media reports that you don’t want to be seen sharing the stage with him at rallies!
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
Karnataka wants to know if Yeddyurappa is still your CM candidate?
Hitting out at the series of advertisements that the BJP had taken out in newspapers promising action against rape accused in Karnataka, Siddaramaiah tweeted:
In Karnataka, you give tickets to rape accused & MLAs who watched porn in Assembly. In UP, CM Adityanath protects a BJP MLA who raped a 16 Yr old girl. In J&K, your MLAs defend rapists of a child.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then your party makes bombastic Ads to politicise rape in Karnataka?!
Siddaramaiah, in his next tweet, criticised the shock demonetisation of November 2016, which left several people across the country in a limbo owing to cash-crunch. He also hit out at the prime minister for his ‘pakoda’ comment.
First, you promised 15L to ppl, then Shah called it an election Jumla. You promised jobs, but then advised youth to sell pakodas. You said demonetisation would end black money, but it only brought misery to common ppl.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
And then you come here and call real development a lollipop?
At the end of this tweet storm, Siddarmaiah asked one final question, criticising the NDA’s government’s farm relief package and the banking mess in the economy.
Your mantra = Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas but your govt has forsaken the poor. Banks write off 2.71L Cr corp loans, but farmers get only speeches. MSP for farmers not increased, but they get promise of doubling income by 2022.
— Siddaramaiah (@siddaramaiah) April 30, 2018
Are you serious abt farmers’ concerns? #AnswerMaadiModi

Delhi CM Atishi may be arrested in fake case: Arvind Kejriwal

New Delhi (PTI): AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Wednesday that Delhi Chief Minister Atishi may be arrested in a "fake" case by the central investigative agencies at the behest of the BJP.
Addressing a press conference, Kejriwal, who was flanked by Atishi, said, "We got to know from our sources that a meeting was held and investigative agencies have been ordered by the BJP to arrest CM Atishi in a fake case."
The BJP is trying to distract AAP from campaigning for assembly polls, he alleged.
"We came to know that they are preparing a fake case on Atishi in the transport department, and they want to halt the scheme of free bus rides for women," the AAP chief said.
"I will not let the scheme of free bus rides for women stop till I am alive," Kejriwal, who is out on bail in a case related to excise policy 'scam', asserted.
The former Delhi chief minister, in a post on X, also alleged that the BJP was rattled by AAP's Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana.
His remarks came as the Delhi government's Women and Child Development and Health departments issued public notices on Wednesday distancing themselves from the ruling AAP's promised schemes of providing Rs 2,100 to women and free treatment for the elderly, triggering a fresh row ahead of assembly polls.
The two departments also cautioned the people against providing personal details to anyone on the pretext of registration for "non-existent" schemes, saying any private individual or political party collecting such physical forms or information is "fraudulent and without any authority".
Led by Kejriwal, AAP leaders recently launched the exercise of registering people for the two schemes with much fanfare.
Atishi said at the press conference that strict action will be taken against Women and Child Development Department officers for issuing a public notice against Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana.
