"Where do we go to find justice, if people like Gopal Kanda are allowed to run constituencies? What about the slogan we have in Haryana - Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao - if we are giving the responsibility of women to a hooligan?" Ankit Sharma told a TV channel.
On Thursday, after the announcement of the results of Haryana Assembly elections, where the BJP fell short by six seats from the magical figure of 46 needed for a majority, there had been reports about talks about the party's top leaders meeting Kanda to enlist his support.
The businessman-turned-politician has extended his unconditional support to the BJP for forming the state government.
Sharma told TV channels on Friday that it is very demotivating for the family of a victim if the perpetrator of the crime is allowed to have a stake in forming a state government.
"It is very disappointing for a family that has lost two members to somebody's power and stature. I just want to ask, are we really asking for support to form a government from a criminal? I have lost my sister and my mother seven years back and that suffering is continuing yet. What kind of a nation are we? Please do not ask for support from someone who is involved in criminal activities," he said.
While Geetika, a 23-year-old air hostess with the now-defunct MDLR airlines, which was owned by Kanda, had committed suicide in 2012 alleging harassment by Kanda and one of his aides, her mother, Anuradha, also killed herself a few months later apparently unable to bear the loss of her daughter.
Kanda was a minister in the Congress-led Haryana state government at the time that he was accused of abetting Geetika's suicide. He had formed the Haryana Lokhit Party later on whose ticket he won the recently-concluded assembly elections in the state from the Sirsa constituency. The criminal case against him is pending in the Rouse Avenue court of New Delhi.
