Bengaluru, 31 Oct 

The Opposition BJP on Friday launched a 'Killer Congress' poster campaign alleging that the ruling party’s policies have made the State unsafe for women.

Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje, along with the BJP women members, kick-started the campaign in the City.

The poster has the photographs of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, his Deputy DK Shivakumar and State Home Minister G Parameshwara in front of the Congress symbol palm, which is shown as stained with blood.

Karandlaje said more than 1,800 cases of atrocities on women have taken place in the State since the Congress came to power. Karandlaje claimed that school girls were disappearing and not returning home.

A student was killed on the college campus in Hubballi, while a woman was stripped when the assembly session was in progress in Belagavi. A teaching faculty member raped his student from Moodabidri in Bengaluru, she alleged.

"We have informed the National Women’s Commission chairperson Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar about the prevailing situation and requested her to review the safety of women in the state," Karandlaje said. "During Rahatkar’s visit to Karnataka two weeks ago, we had apprised her about women’s safety.”
