Ghazipur, April 26 -- As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Uttar Pradesh for the inauguration of an expressway on April 29, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav is set to visit the family of a Dalit girl whose death has triggered a political storm in the state. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday claimed that the victim, belonging to the Vishwakarma community, was raped and brutally killed and that her family was threatened to prevent the filing of an FIR. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that atrocities against women were at their peak in Uttar Pradesh. SP president Akhilesh Yadav told reporters at the party headquarters that BJP leaders met the girl's father. "The BJP seeks to extract political mileage from every situation. However, I am heartened to see that society at large is becoming increasingly aware and the 'PDA' (pichhda or backward classes, Dalit, alpsankhyak or minority) is even more vigilant," he said. Later, in a post on 'X', Yadav alleged a new "disturbing" trend under the BJP government: they commit or orchestrate atrocities and later exert pressure on the victims to recant their statements. "Exploiting the helplessness of a poor person constitutes the most inhumane form of injustice. The BJP's governance and administrative machinery are currently passing through their most abysmal phase," he said. He demanded that there should be another probe to identify the police personnel who are actively intimidating the victim's family.PTI...
