Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha national president Poonam Mahajan has alleged that Kerala’s LDF government has failed to provide adequate security to women in the state.

Maintaining that the crime rate against women in the southern state is higher than the national average, she said it is the responsibility of the Kerala government to ensure that they feel safe.

“Women feel insecure under the LDF government. A responsible chief minister should take steps to ensure safety of women in his own state,” Mahajan said in a statement issued here Saturday.

Women have lost faith in the government and this is a reflection on the police system, she said.

Mahajan was in Kerala for past few days to hold statewide agitations against the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government.

The protest was organised by the youth wing of BJP.
