Interestingly, this comes amidst the continuous allegations levelled by the Congress against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he has failed to address the needs of marginalised sections of the society and not making enough efforts to uplift the Dalits in the country. Earlier, Congress president Rahul Gandhi had accused the prime minister of overlooking the weaker sections of the society. Addressing a gathering at the Jantar Mantar, Gandhi scion had said, “The things start with ‘neeyat’ (intentions), whatever will be there in the prime minister’s heart, the things will work according to that. Modi wants Dalits to remain marginalised. If Modi had a place for Dalits in his heart, his policies would have shown it by now. The prime minister had written in one of his books that it feels good when the house has been cleaned by a Dalit.”
