Patna (Bihar)[India] May 15 : Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal on Thursday lashed out at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, after the latter alleged that the Bihar Police stopped him on his way to Ambedkar hostel in Darbhanga.
Jaiswal took a dig at the LoP and said that Gandhi should "use his mind" and share an itinerary before using a government building.
He said, "He should use his mind. If he had to use a government building or hostel, he should have sent an official itinerary. He is the leader of opposition and a state President of a party has to teach this to him."
"Why does he suddenly need to go to the Dalit children after so many years of independence? Since 1965, they have kept the Dalit and poor status quo. Narendra Modi came in 10 years ago only and the world is watching the work he is doing for the last line of the unprivileged," he added.
Jaiswal questioned the loyalty of the Gandhi family towards the underprivileged, "What has Rahul Gandhi and his ancestors been doing for 65 years? He should apologise to the Dalit society for this. I want to expose his hypocrisy. Why did they (Rahul Gandhi and Congress) insult Babasaheb Ambedkar, the architect of the constitution?... Memorials of Congress leaders were constructed on 50 acres of land each, but not of Baba Bhimrao Ambedkar. I thank PM Narendra Modi for erecting his memorial in Janpath."
LoP Rahul Gandhi had earlier alleged that the "NDA's "Double Engine Dhokebaaz Sarkaar" in Bihar was preventing him from interacting with Dalit and backward students in Ambedkar Hostel.
While addressing a gathering in Darbhanga he said, "The Bihar Police tried to stop me. But they could not stop me because your power (minority community) is watching over me. We told PM Narendra Modi that you have to conduct census... Under your pressure, PM Narendra Modi announced caste census in the country. Scared of your pressure, he placed the Constitution on his forehead. But their government is against democracy, the Constitution, and the minorities. This is the government of Adani-Ambani and not yours."
The Bihar Legislative Assembly election for all 243 constituencies is scheduled to be held in October or November this year. The last assembly elections were held in October-November 2020.
