Doda, April 11
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the BJP did not respect women and attacked its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi for taking “many elections” to admit he was married.

“He (Modi) contested many elections, but it is for the first time that his wife's name has appeared in an affidavit... It is not that he married yesterday. In Delhi, he talks about the honour of women, but his own wife's name doesn't reach the affidavit,” Rahul said. Rahul, along with J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and Pradesh Congress Committee president Saifuddin Soz, reached the Doda stadium around 11 am to campaign for Udhampur-Doda segment candidate Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Rahul said: “As many as 20,000 women disappeared in Chattisgarh. No one has a clue about them. BJP men are harassing and beating up women in Karnataka. Their minister watches videos in the Assembly. What kind of videos, you would have read in the newspapers. And they talk of women empowerment.” Rahul also raked up the issue of the Gujarat Police illegally following a woman and giving her information to the Chief Minister.
