Opposition's reaction
{{/usCountry}}Blaming the state government over the incident, BJP MP Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore said, “Under the protection of power, the miscreants held the steering of the crime!”
“Miscreants are dragging a woman on the bonnet of a car in broad daylight in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Gehlot ji, when such incidents are happening openly with women on a daily basis, do you have any idea what has happened to women in the whole of Rajasthan under your misrule!” he tweeted in Hindi.
BJP's national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla also targeted the Gehlot government over the incident. “Daily 10-15 incidents of women atrocities! Bhilwara, Jaipur, Karauli type incidents shock the conscience. Even Rajendra Gudha and Divya Maderna have spoken out but Rahul, Priyanka won’t utter a word! Gehlot ji says all is well!” he posted on X.
