Congress dalit leader accuses pm narendra modi of having 'anti-dalit mindset'

Selja also alleged that the BJP was trying to amend the Constitution drafted by Dr Ambedkar and putting a question mark on reservation on several occasions. The Congress on Ambedkar Jayanti

targeted the BJP and the RSS for eroding the Dalit icon's legacy and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having an 'anti-Dalit mindset'. In line with Congress president

Rahul Gandhi's accusation, Congress Dalit leader Kumari Selja said, "They are simply paying lip service to Babasaheb as the Prime Minister is prone to. It does not take away the

fact that they are trying to erode the legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar...The PM actually has an anti-Dalit mindset." Selja also alleged that the BJP was trying to amend the Constitution

drafted by Dr Ambedkar and putting a question mark on reservation on several occasions. "Is it respect if you try to amend the legacy of Babasaheb Ambedkar? They have no moral right to

raise a finger against the Congress," she said adding that one should not forget the views of the RSS about Babasaheb Ambedkar. LOCKED IN CAGE Referring to reports of Ambedkar's

sculpture locked in an iron cage for protection in Badaun, Selja said, "You (NDA government) have not kept his statue in the cage but his ideologies."
