Lucknow: A day after Mallikarjun Kharge was elected the Congress president, BSP chief Mayawati on Thursday accused the 137-year-old celebration of remembering Dalits solely in its dangerous instances and making them “scapegoats”.

Kharge (80), a Dalit chief from Karnataka, trounced his 66-year-old rival Shashi Tharoor in a historic election held 4 days in the past to turn into the primary non-Gandhi to go the Congress in 24 years.

In a collection of tweets, Mayawati mentioned, “The historical past of the Congress is a witness that it has all the time uncared for/disdained the messiah of the downtrodden Param Pujya Babasaheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and his society. This celebration doesn’t bear in mind the protection and honour of Dalits in its good days, however makes them a scapegoat in dangerous days.”

“The Congress celebration remembers principally non-Dalits in the long term of fine days and places Dalits in entrance of their dangerous days as within the present instances. Is that this not deceit and pseudo politics? Folks ask, ‘Is that this the true love of the Congress in the direction of Dalits’?” she mentioned in one other tweet.

Thought of a loyalist of the Gandhis, Kharge will take over because the Congress president on October 26 as he seeks to steer the beleaguered celebration out of its present disaster.
