Alka Lamba, president of the All India Mahila Congress and candidate for the Kalkaji assembly seat, condemned both the AAP and BJP on Tuesday, labeling them as misogynistic following the circulation of a video featuring BJP leader Harish Khurana, who allegedly made lewd remarks about women.Speaking at a press conference, Lamba stated, “The video of Harish Khurana, son of former Chief Minister Madan Lal Khurana and the BJP’s candidate for the Moti Nagar Assembly constituency, is going viral. In it, he can be seen verbally attacking the mother of a former MLA from his own area, as well as insulting the woman MP from New Delhi, claiming she hasn’t been able to secure tickets for her constituents.”

Lamba demanded accountability from BJP leadership, saying, “It is deeply shameful that the BJP has reduced politics to such a level. Prominent leaders like Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and JP Nadda have all supported Harish Khurana and should provide an explanation regarding this video.”

She further noted that this is not an isolated incident of the BJP disrespecting women, highlighting the anti-women remarks made by Ramesh Bidhuri, the BJP candidate from Kalkaji, as well as the suspension of BJP MLA OP Sharma due to his abusive language towards women.

Lamba asserted that the BJP is set to lose the upcoming elections in Delhi, as their true character has been revealed to the public. “They aim to win through the use of power, money, and intimidation,” she remarked.

Additionally, Lamba criticized AAP for its handling of women’s safety within the party, citing the unacceptable physical assault experienced by Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the hands of her own party members.

“Arvind Kejriwal, Atishi, and Manish Sisodia are destined to lose the election this time,” Lamba claimed, “as they can no longer exploit the resources of Punjab for their gains.”

Uttar Pradesh: A married woman allegedly killed her former lover in Ballia after he blackmailed her with private videos, police said.

According to police, the victim was identified as Pankaj Gupta, a resident of Azamgarh. He was reportedly in a relationship with the woman from a nearby village.

Police said the woman wanted to end the relationship. However, Gupta allegedly began blackmailing her using obscene videos and harassed her repeatedly.

Unable to bear the threats, the woman informed her brother and sister-in-law. The trio allegedly planned the murder during a wedding function on February 5.

On February 7, they allegedly called Gupta to the village on a pretext. He was strangled to death, police said. The accused then poured acid on his face to hide his identity and tried to destroy evidence.

An unidentified body with a disfigured face was found on February 10. The crime was later solved during the investigation.

Police have arrested three accused, including the woman, and sent them to judicial custody. Efforts are on to arrest other suspects involved in the case.
