Dalit atrocities rampant under Cong govt, says PM
The Morning Standard
|November 19, 2023
PRIME Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress, branding it an anti-Dalit party, during an election rally in east Rajasthan on Saturday.
In a strategic move to appeal to Dalit voters in a region with a significant number of Scheduled Caste reserved seats, Modi highlighted the BJP's support for the backward community, citing the appointments of the first Dalit Election Commissioner and the first Dalit President.
Accusing the Gehlot government, Modi claimed, "New records of atrocities are being made against Dalits under the Congress rule. Congress is anti Dalit by nature." He pointed to specific instances, such as the opposition to the appointment of the country's first Dalit Chief Information Commissioner, Hiralal Samaria, and the resistance against Ramnath Kovind's presidency.
