BJP Slams Congress After Manipur MP Accused Of Sexual Harassment Gets Key Campaign Roles

The BJP has accused the Congress of undermining its own claims on women's safety after the party gave Manipur MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam key responsibilities for the upcoming assembly election despite a sexual harassment case against him.

The Congress hit back, saying the BJP should examine its own record before questioning an internal party appointment. Congress leader Udit Raj said the allegations against Akoijam remained allegations and that the posts given to him were organisational roles, not government positions.
