“At a time when the Prime Minister of India had raised a slogan of Beti Bachao Beti Padao, the women of this state and also in other parts of the country are falling victims to the crime against them – it is growing at an alarming rate under the rule of the BJP government here,” she alleged.
Puja Roy Chowdhury said, “In view of the overall situation of the state, we the Mahila Congress have decided to visit door to door to make the women and mother understand and aware them of the current situation of the state, where they are not safe and their safety and security is under question mark.”
