Rahul's 'dalal' remark childish, irresponsible, anti-Dalit: BSP
Express news service Posted online: Fri Jul 08 2011, 01:15 hrs
Lucknow : Reacting to AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi's statement
in which he said that dalals (touts, middlemen) were running Uttar
Pradesh, the ruling BSP said remark was an insult to the people of the
state who have given a clear majority to the party to run the
government for five years.

The party has termed Rahul's statement as "irresponsible, childish and
anti-Dalit".

The party's spokesperson, in a press release, said such a statement
indicates the "political immaturity" of the Congress's "Yuvaraj". The
reality is that the Congress-headed UPA government has been proved
incapable of running the government and thus, Rahul Gandhi is looking
for issues in a state like UP in his effort to divert people's
attention from the Centre, the release said.

Criticising the Congress for "boasting against corruption", the BSP
reminded it about the Bofors scandal which had dislodged the Congress
from power. "The Congress has since failed to get a clear majority to
form its own government only because of the Bofors scam," the
statement said. It also referred to other corruption cases which have
taken place under the Congress from time to time.

The press release said it is part of the Congress culture to give
patronage to scamsters and corrupt persons. "On the contrary, the BSP
is the country's only party which has struggled against corruption
right from the day of its foundation,'' it added.
