The SP chief said, “The organisation that the Chief Minister of the state had recently praised so highly — the way one of its senior office-bearers, who is an ‘accused in a rape case’, was welcomed with flower showers and garlands after getting bail, nothing could be more condemnable than this. It seems the honourable leader is bringing out his staunch supporters to contest the next election independently. Tomorrow, this rape accused released on bail may even be seen raising slogans in support of ‘women’s reservation’.”
