GANDHINAGAR: Congress’
Rahul Gandhi
said
President Droupadi Murmu
was not allowed to attend
Ram Temple
inauguration because she is an
adivasi
.
“Our President is an adivasi. She is the head of state and the highest in protocol. But when
Parliament
inauguration happened and when Ram Temple inauguration took place, she was not allowed to attend. It is a matter of shame.
She was not allowed to enter either Ram Temple or the Parliament. Why? Because she is an adivasi,” Gandhi alleged.
He was addressing an election rally on Monday in Gujarat’s Patan. “Congress will augment participation of those from SCs, STs, OBCs and poor from general category by conducting a caste census and economic survey if voted to power,” Rahul said.
He alleged that BJP and RSS want to change the Constitution and that the 2024 elections is a contest to decide whether the Constitution, and democracy, would be saved or not.
“Ninety per cent of the country’s population comprises SCs, STs, OBCs and poor from the general category, but you will not find their representation in the corporate and media (sectors), private hospitals, private universities or as bureaucrats in govt. We will first do a caste survey and economic survey after coming to power,” he said.
