Rahul Gandhi says 'PM Modi anti-Dalit'; Amit Shah counters him in five tweets
BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday targetted Rahul Gandhi after the Congress President accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of having an "anti-Dalit" mindset.
Referring to a bill brought by the Centre in Parliament to restore the original provisions in the SC/ST atrocity law, Shah said the NDA government, through a Cabinet decision and in Parliament ensured the strongest amendment to the Act. The BJP president asked the Congress president to "give some time to facts". "Rahul Ji, when you are free from winking and disrupting Parliament, give some time to facts as well," Shah said.Would have been good if Congress President would have spoken about his Party’s treatment towards Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Babu Jagjivan Ram and Sitaram Kesari.
Congress way of treating Dalits is patronising and condescending. For years Congress insulted Dalit aspirations. — Amit Shah (@AmitShah) August 9, 2018
"Is it a co-incidence that the year Mrs. Sonia Gandhi joined the Congress, the Third Front-Congress Government opposed reservations in promotions and the year Rahul Gandhi becomes Congress President they oppose a tough SC/ SCT Act and OBC Commission! Anti-backward mindset visible," he added.Rahul Ji, when you are free from winking and disrupting Parliament, give some time to facts as well.
NDA Government, through a Cabinet decision and in Parliament ensured the strongest amendment to the Act. Why are you protesting that? https://t.co/Ik2Jq1Krny — Amit Shah (@AmitShah) August 9, 2018

"Mr. Rahul Gandhi, expecting research and honesty is difficult from you but do read Mr. Rajiv Gandhi’s speech during Mandal, when he opposed it tooth & nail. The sense of entitlement and hatred for backward communities comes out so clearly. And today you talk about Dalit welfare," he said.PM @narendramodi’s legacy- strongest amendments to SC/ ST Act, OBC Commission, Panchteerth and more. https://t.co/2LCmNeMOoP
