After the BJP slammed the Congress government over the law and order situation as a woman in central Bengaluru was allegedly gang-raped and robbed, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah questioned whether no rape cases were reported during the tenure of the previous government.

"Did rape incidents not happen during the BJP tenure? There should be no rapes. Women should get security, but some sociopathic people do," the Karnataka CM told media persons.

A woman was waiting for the Yalahanka bus at KR Market in Bangalore. At this time, the woman asked the accused about the Yalahanka bus. The accused took her to Godown Street and allegedly raped her, saying they would show her the bus.

The incident came to the forefront after the victim lodged a complaint with Bangalore Central Women's Station.

Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Dayananda stated that two accused have been arrested in connection with the case.

Leader of opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka citing the alleged rape charged the Congress government with failure of law and order.

"Law and order in the state has collapsed to the bottom. The common people are living in fear. There is no environment where girls can move around safely. How long will you continue to run such a bad government by clinging to your chair? Resign from your position and free the people of the state from this misrule and anarchy, He posted on X.

Earlier, the Karnataka Chief Minister had attended the 'Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan' rally scheduled held in Belagavi district. He said that Mahatma Gandhi and his ideologies are still relevant to the whole world.

"Mahatma Gandhi, a devotee of Ram and a pure-hearted Hindu, was assassinated by Godse of the BJP family. We believe in Mahatma Gandhi's Hindutva. The BJP family is following Godse's murderous ideology. The BJP family, which is a hater of the Hindutva that Gandhiji spoke of and is opposed to Gandhian principles, is also anti-Constitutional and anti-Ambedkar. We are leading the Jai Bhapu-Jai Bhim-Jai Sammandeep Abhiyan with the aim of conveying Mahatma Gandhi's ideas to the next generation in a more meaningful way and realizing Gandhi's dream of Gram Swarajya. Mahatma Gandhi presided over the AICC session held in Karnataka a hundred years ago. That day, he increased the fire of the freedom struggle in this land," the Chief Minister said. (ANI)
