JAJPUR,12/09(PPT); All India Congress Committee Member (AICC) Madhusmita Acharya on Thursday urged women to expose the “lies” of the BJP, asserting that his party is committed to giving them significant roles and focusing on increasing female membership in the party. Madhusmita made these remarks during the concluding session of the Woman congress meeting at the Rasalpur Jajpur District. “Lies are the biggest identity of BJP,” the said Madhusmita.She Said though the BJP in its election manifesto announced to give financial assistance of Rs 50,000 to each woman in the state under Subhadra Yojana within two years, now the government has announced to give it in five years. “That too, women will get a financial assistance of Rs 5,000 every six months,” She pointed out. Madhusmita also recalled the BJP’s pre-election promise of providing 300 units of free electricity. “BJP leaders came to Odisha during elections and made grand announcements, but in reality, people received nothing. The BJP should not betray the trust of women and the public. Our women are aware and will respond appropriately. Expose the BJP’s lies. The Congress will continue to be the voice of women in the state,”She said. Addressing the issue of rising crimes against women, Madhusmiata said, “Crimes against women is a crime against the divine. In our culture, we revere women as mother goddesses. It is also a crime against humanity and must be stopped at all costs.” She called on women to support those in distress and encourage them to face challenges with courage. “Our collective efforts will help create a safer world for our daughters,” Madhusmita added.
