Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday called for a national law which guarantees a significant share of the budget to schemes designed, targeted, and dedicated to meet the needs of Dalit and Adivasis.

He also accused the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre of allocating only a miniscule share of the budget to these communities.

"I met a delegation of researchers, activists and social workers from Dalit and Adivasi communities who demanded a national law dedicating a share of the Union Budget to Dalits and Adivasis. Such a law is in place in Karnataka and Telangana and has led to significant benefits flowing to communities," Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.
