Not a big issue, no need for Akhilesh to come: SP MP on Dalit girl's rape in UP
After meeting the family of 12-year-old Dalit girl who was allegedly raped in UP's Agra, Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Lal Suman said, "This isn't such a big issue. No need for Akhilesh Yadav to come." BJP's Pradeep Bhandari criticised Suman over his remarks, saying, "This is SP's real face...a party that protects rapists, insults Dalits, and endangers women."
