Minister for Rural Development and Panchayat Raj K.S. Eshwarappa has said that the Congress had used the Backward Classes, Dalits and minorities only as vote-bank and it has done nothing for the development of these communities.
Addressing a gathering at a BJP Other Backward Classes Morcha District-level Working Committee meeting here on Monday, Mr. Eshwarappa accused the Congress of using the communities as vote-bank, while neglecting them after assuming power.
Mr. Eshwarappa said that the Congress has lost its ground in Punjab and that that party is on slippery grounds in Rajasthan. The erosion of support from the Dalit and Backward Classes is the reason for the decline of the Congress and the rise of the BJP. The differences of opinion on issues within the party as expressed by a group of Congress leaders (G23) themselves indicate that the Congress is weakening day-by-day, he reiterated.
