Caught On Camera: BJP Minister Slaps Woman In Karnataka

A Karnataka BJP minister in Karnataka was caught on camera slapping a woman at an event where he was distributing land titles. The Congress has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the incident. "The PM speaks about honouring women from the precincts of the Red Fort. Is this the way you are protecting and giving security to India's women?" This was not the first time a BJP minister has been seen abusing people in public. Last year, in December, Law Minister JC Madhuswamy was seen abusing a woman farmer in public view. More recently, on September 3, BJP Karnataka MLA Arvind Limbavali ran into controversy after a video of him threatening and verbally abusing a woman protesting demolition of her property went viral on social media. Earlier, a Janata Dal (Secular) leader was caught on camera slapping the principal of a college in Karnataka. The politician, M Srinivas, was on a visit to a college and reportedly got angry after the principal was not able to provide a clear answer about the ongoing development work for a computer lab.
