Union Law Minister and Bihar BJP President criticize Congress for neglecting Dalits, praising NDA's efforts for upliftment.
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and Bihar Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State president Dilip Jaiswal along with Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary jointly attacked Congress party alleging that party did not do anything for the upliftment of the Dalits.
They all had gathered to address people during ‘Dalit Mahapanchayat’ organised by ‘Bihar Ravidas Vikas Sangh Parivar’ at Miller High School ground in Patna on Sunday (April 27, 2025) to honour Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Mr. Meghwal said that the Constitution given by Baba Saheb Ambedkar gave equality, freedom and brotherhood. Referring to sandalwood, he said that no matter how you look at sandalwood, its fragrance remains the same.
“Man should also be like that and there should be no difference between man’s words and actions. Baba Saheb used to say that there is a difference between the words and actions of Congress leaders. He never used to like the Congress leaders,” Mr. Megwal said.
He also accused the Congress of conspiring against Baba Saheb. He said that “Baba Saheb is immortal”.
With an eye on Dalit votes, all the leaders, including Health Minister Mangal Pandey paid floral tribute to Baba Saheb’s picture and bowed in front of him.
Praising the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, Mr. Jaiswal said that it is continuously working for the upliftment of the Dalit community. He stressed that the Congress ruled the country for 65 years, but it kept the poor people poor only.
