The former Bihar Chief Minister, Jitan Ram Manjhi, recently criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of being 'anti-Dalit'. Manjhi uploaded a video purportedly featuring Rahul Gandhi, where the Congress leader talks about cutting the ticket of a Dalit leader in Rajasthan.
In the video, Rahul Gandhi is seen addressing a gathering in Rajasthan and mentioning the Congress's decision to cut the ticket of a Dalit MLA, contrasting it with the BJP's quick decision to offer a ticket to the same individual.
He pointed out this move as reflective of the BJP's mindset and highlighted Narendra Modi's statement regarding caste and poverty in the country.
Manjhi expressed his dismay at such actions, drawing attention to the alleged insults faced by Dalit leaders within political parties. He raised concerns about this behavior within the India alliance, suggesting it might be detrimental to the Dalit community.
This incident adds fuel to the ongoing debates surrounding the treatment and representation of Dalits within political circles, sparking discussions about the approach various parties take toward Dalit leaders and their representation.
