Nehru, Gandhi family responsible for rising rapes in India, says Rajasthan BJP MLA Gyandev Ahuja

Gyandev Ahuja, the BJP legislator from Alwar's Ramgarh, has urged that all statues and monuments named after the Gandhis should be immediately demolished.

Jaipur: Controversial Rajasthan Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Gyandev Ahuja, who had earlier courted a controversy by claiming that JNU students indulge in sex and booze and go naked on campus, has now attributed the growing instances of rapes in India to the Nehru, Gandhi family.

Blaming the Nehru family for all social problems in the country, the BJP legislator from Alwar's Ramgarh also urged that all statues and monuments named after the Gandhis should be immediately demolished like it was done in Iraq where hundreds of agitators uprooted dictator Saddam Hussain and broke into pieces his iconic statue in central Baghdad.

Interestingly, the BJP MLA hailed PM Narendra Modi as a ''divine'' person, who will rid India of all societal evils very soon.

However, Ahuja's explosives comments have drawn sharp reactions from the Rajasthan unit of Congress, which said that BJP MLA is mentally unfit and should be treated in a mental hospital.

Ahuja had sometimes back stirred a controversy by saying JNU students were responsible for 50 percent of rapes and molestation cases in the national capital.

The BJP MLA had also alleged that some “3,000 condoms and anti-pregnancy injections are used daily” in the JNU campus and “students there do bad things with our daughters and sisters”.

“This is a place (JNU) where Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru is praised. These people are traitors,'' he had said.
