Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticizes BJP governments for fostering an anti-Dalit and anti-tribal mindset.

Kharge vows the Congress Party won't let constitutional rights be violated, opposing BJP-RSS ideologies.

In a fiery criticism, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge slammed BJP administrations, accusing them of holding an anti-Dalit and anti-tribal mindset detrimental to marginalized communities. He alleges systemic atrocities continue unabated under a 'Manuvaad' ideology.

Kharge cited shocking incidents: a Dalit youth's murder in Madhya Pradesh, a tribal woman's desperate search for medical care in Maharashtra, and forced suicide of a Dalit student in Haryana, among others. The Congress leader highlighted the silence of authorities in caste-based violence cases, questioning the effectiveness of the police.

Asserting a doubling of crimes against minorities since 2014, Kharge vowed that the Congress Party would staunchly defend constitutional rights against the anti-constitutional ideologies of the BJP and RSS.
