Ranchi, March 28 -- The Jharkhand Congress on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of politicising the alleged rape and murder of a minor girl in Hazaribag district and said such incidents should not be used for political gain.
Reacting to BJP state president Aditya Sahu's remarks, state Congress general secretary and media in-charge Rakesh Sinha said crimes such as rape were a blot on society and required united action rather than political confrontation.
He said the Hazaribag incident was deeply tragic and asserted that the state government and administration were working seriously to ensure justice for the victim.
