The women got neither safety, nor education or nutrition, but only exploitation, Rahul Gandhi tweeted on Sunday.

&quot;The women got neither safety, nor education or nutrition, but only exploitation. From Anganwadi to ASHA workers, everyone was disappointed. Only promises were made to the women of Gujarat and it was never their intention to fulfil them,&quot; Gandhi asked his fifth question in his &quot;a question a day&quot; series with a tweet in the run-up to Gujarat assembly elections and demanded answers over the alleged failure of the Modi-led government in fulfilling the promises.

Congress spokesperson Suhmita Dev later claimed that none of the top BJP leaders had any answers to the questions raised by Gandhi.
