Cong slams BSP for ‘injustice’ to Dalits

The programme was also addressed by other senior Congress leaders,including state president Rita Bahuguna Joshi and national SC commission chairman P L Punia. Singh described Mayawati as “Daulat ki beti rather than Dalit ki beti” and claimed that the community was moving towards the Congress following the efforts of Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi.
