Congress president Rahul Gandhi targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over rising cases of crime against Dalits in the country. Rahul said Dalits are angry with PM Modi because of his ideology. “You can worship Ambedkar with flowers but can never respect him. Each and every Dalit knows when he looks at Modi, he knows that the PM does not have place for Dalits, SC, or women in his heart,” he said.
The Congress president launched his party’s nationwide ‘Save the Constitution’ campaign on Monday at Delhi’s Talkatora stadium. Seen as the party’s effort to reach out to the community ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the campaign launch is expected to be attended by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, party general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad, its senior leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Sushil Kumar Shinde among others.
The attendees are expected to take the message forward, holding similar campaigns in states to reach out to community members, sources said.
