Uttarakhand: BJP calls Congress strike on Belda incident a political gimmick
Calling the Congress dharna on the Belda incident a political gimmick, the BJP said, this is the party which has always tortured the people and even the Dalit leaders of their own party. They insulted Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb to Jagjivan Ram, Sitaram Kesari, whereas we gave the country’s highest honor to Ramnath Covid, His Excellency Draupadi Murmu.
State President Mahendra Bhatt, showing a mirror to the Congress leaders on the issue of Dalit oppression, said, those people on their platform who always falsely allege atrocities in the BJP rule, one of them has been a minister in our government for the full 5 years but he never got any help. No atrocities were visible. He said, appropriate action is being taken by the local administration regarding the unfortunate incident in Belda village of Haridwar about which they are spreading confusion among the public. Congress is adept in the art of doing politics even on sensitive issues, but the people of the state are well aware of their reality. He realizes that Congress always uses Dalits as vote bank, which is why it kept this large section of the society untouched from development while it was in government. He said, SC ST community is happy under BJP government and is getting proper representation in the field of employment and self-employment.
Taking a dig at Congress, Bhatt said, this is the party which gives up the promise of making a Dalit Chief Minister as soon as the elections come, but never even respects him while in power. The state Congress has inherited this feudal thinking from its top leaders. History is witness to how the then Congress leadership did not allow Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar to win the Lok Sabha elections, how Babu Jagjivan Ram had to leave the party after being humiliated, how Sitaram Kesari, as National President, was pushed out of the party headquarters. Removed. It is surprising that now wearing the same mask, she is trying to defame the people of the state by making false allegations of Dalit oppression. But Congress leaders will never succeed in their conspiracy because the public recognizes them by their real face. The Dalit community is completely cut off from them and is participating in the development of the country’s society, influenced by the policies and actions of the BJP.
