Rahul Gandhi's stay at Dalit homes a political drama: BSP

The BSP on Friday termed as "political drama" Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's stay at dalit houses during his ongoing kisan padyatra and alleged that he did not have food prepared by them.

"Though Congress yuvraj had a night halt at the house of one person belonging to 'kanjar' caste in Marodgarhi village of Aligarh yesterday but he did not have food prepared there and it was ordered from outside for him while for his staff it was arranged at the house of the gram pradhan", a BSP spokesman here said.

Terming such a behaviour indicative of Congress party's casteist mentality, the spokesman said that these stays at the houses of dalits and backwards were nothing but "political drama".

"But in UP it has been instigating farmers or organising panchayats when the state's acquisition policy is far better than that of other states, it is this not indicative of anti-dalit mentality", he asked.
