BJP's Dalit outreach scheme in trouble
New Delhi/Lucknow: The ruling BJP’s so-called “dalit outreach” seems to have got a major setback as several saffron dalit leaders and legislators have come out openly against it. While BJP dalit leader and Bhairaich MP Savitri Bai Phule called the initiative to reach out to dalits by party leaders as a “fake show” and even predicted it will neither help the party or the government, another dalit MP Udit Raj said dalits need “more than leaders going to their houses to eat”. While Dr Raj supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s push for a dalit outreach, the Northwest Delhi MP also pointed out that eating at dalits’ homes would not satisfy them as the community was feeling frustrated due to their unfulfilled “aspirations and expectations”. Another Uttar Pradesh minister, Anupama Jaiswal, created more embarrassment when she defended her party leaders visiting dalit homes and having dinner there, saying they do so braving “mosquito bites the whole night”.
