Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday compared the rape of a woman inside a state transport bus standing at a bus stand in Pune with the gang rape incident in Delhi in 2012 and targeted District Patron Minister Ajit Pawar over the law and order situation. The Rajya Sabha member said that there has been a huge increase in crime against women in Maharashtra. At the same time, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that the accused is still absconding and will not be spared.
Sanjay Raut told reporters that if the opposition coalition in the state had been the government of Maha Vikas Aghadi, then the women leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would have been creating a ruckus outside the state headquarters. On Tuesday, a 26 -year -old woman was allegedly raped inside a state transport bus at the Swargate bus station in Pune. The accused 37 -year -old historyheater Dattatreya Ramdas Gade has not been arrested yet.

Sanjay Raut, while referring to the BJP -led government’s ladki sister scheme of financial assistance for women, asked, ‘Have you bought the self -esteem of women by paying Rs 1,500 every month?’ He said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis should ask for answers from Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who is also the patron minister of Pune. The Shiv Sena (Ubatha) leader said, ‘This is like the Nirbhaya incident in Delhi. Fortunately, the woman survived (in this case). ‘

Raut said that gangsters in Pune have no fear of law. He said that the Home Department is being used to suppress political objectives and political opponents and “It will be a huge benevolence for the state if the Home Department is used to protect the dear sisters.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde called the Pune incident very unfortunate and condemnable.

Shinde said, ‘Transport Minister has dismissed security guards after the incident (on Swargate). No one will be spared and strict action will be taken by MSRTC. Sainaik belongs to Shinde’s Shiv Sena.
