Woman Burnt Alive: Rahul Gandhi Accuses Nitish Govt Of Hiding Incident For Electoral Gains

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday attacked the NDA government in Bihar over a woman allegedly burnt alive and accused the Nitish Kumar dispensation of "hiding" the incident for "electoral gains".

Along with his tweet attacking the state government, Gandhi tagged a media report which claimed that the incident of burning alive a young woman in Vaishali was kept under wraps as elections were on. The woman died after fighting for life at a



hospital for 15 days, the report said.

"Whose crime is more dangerous? Who did this barbaric demonstration or the person who concealed it for discretionary gains in order to establish the framework of his false 'good governance' over this 'misrule'?" Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi. 

As per the media report, the lady was being bothered by a man from her town who, alongside his companions, purportedly consumed her alive.
