Does Cong have a patent in visiting Dalit homes, asks BJP
PTI


Taking strong exception to Congress' remark that its chief Nitin
Gadkari was "aping" Rahul Gandhi by visiting Dalit households, BJP
today asked if any particular party has a patent to do so.

"Is it the patent of the Congress? But what is truly disturbing is
that they have alleged that we are aping Rahul Gandhi. Congress
spokesperson needs to learn that the real leader who worked for uplift
of Dalits was Mahatma Gandhi. If they don't do their homework, at
least don't insult Mahatma Gandhi," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar
Prasad said here.

He also wondered why Congress was "so cagey" about Nitin Gadkari
having lunch with Dalit workers and supporters of the party.

Referring to Gadkari's visit to Dalit households in Mhow - the
birthplace of Dr B R Ambedkar - Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi
had yesterday said that "imitation is the best form of flattery and
BJP is indulging in flattery without limitation."
