"Ironically, BJP introduced the slogan 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' campaign but cannot protect its educated women leaders within the party," she said. Atishi said, "The incident involving Sarita Chaudhary at the BJP office shows the true colours of BJP. At one point of time people in Delhi would put out posters saying 'BJP leaders do not enter as young girls live here." Unfortunately for women, Delhi has earned the title — rape capital — in the recent past.

New Delhi: Amid reports of assault by a BJP leader to his wife, a former Mayor of South MCD, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders demanded that Bharatiya Janata Partys Mehrauli district chief, Azad Singh, be sacked from the party. Senior AAP leader Atishi, spoke about BJPs incompetency in the field of women safety in the city. The press conference was held a day after the incident involving BJPs Mehrauli district chief, Azad Singh, who slapped his wife Sarita Chaudhary at the Delhi BJP office on Pant Marg road. "Ironically, BJP introduced the slogan Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign but cannot protect its educated women leaders within the party," she said. Atishi said, "The incident involving Sarita Chaudhary at the BJP office shows the true colours of BJP. It is a party we know as anti-women with leaders like former Union Minister Swami Chinmayanad and many others who have been linked to rape cases and who admitted those allegations. At one point of time people in Delhi would put out posters saying BJP leaders do not enter as young girls live here." In a stark contrast with the ruling party, AAP leader, Sarita Singh said, "On one hand we (Delhi government) are working hard for women safety by installing CCTV cameras on the road and introducing free rides for women to encourage them to travel in buses, BJP on the other hand is doing nothing." Unfortunately for women, Delhi has earned the title — rape capital — in the recent past. "How is Delhi Police expected to keep women safe on roads when a woman is assaulted right inside the BJP office. This only brings to light the inept skills of Delhi police and the importance given to women safety under the BJP regime," Atishi added. Talking about the recent robbery of a couple in Connaught Place at gunpoint, Atishi made it loud and clear that the ruling party of this country cannot be entrusted with a huge responsibility like safety. Meanwhile, it has been reported that Chaudhary and Singh attended a meeting with senior leader Prakash Javadekar at the party office where the incident took place. The incident was captured on video which went viral resulting in Manoj Tiwari replacing Singh.
