BJP Tamil Nadu President K. Annamalai said, “This is not just a court ruling; it is a victory for every woman who seeks justice. The BJP stands with the victims and their families. We hope this judgment brings them peace and strength.”

The BJP also praised the efforts of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the legal team for handling the case with seriousness and care. They said the case shows the importance of strong law enforcement and quick trials in cases of violence against women.

Women’s wings of the party also held small gatherings in different towns to express their support for the verdict and to raise awareness about the safety of women. They urged the government to continue strengthening laws to protect women and punish offenders without delay.

In conclusion, the Tamil Nadu BJP welcomed the Pollachi verdict and called it a major step in the fight for justice. The party said it would continue to support laws and actions that protect women and ensure that such crimes do not happen again.
