Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has criticized the Congress party for its failure to protect the interests of Dalits and backward communities in the 1990s.

Speaking at an event organized by Dalit influencers, Gandhi emphasized the importance of genuine participation in institutions and wealth alongside political representation.
