The mic is switched off when we talk about Dalits: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed the program organized on the occasion of Constitution Day at Talkatora Stadium today. Here Rahul Gandhi was talking about Dalits and caste census, when the lights went off. After waiting for some time, when the lights came on, Rahul Gandhi said that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot silence us, I will say whatever I want to say. Turn off the mic as much as you want. The mic switches off when we talk about Dalits.
He (Rahul Gandhi) said that Narendra Modi and BJP government organized a function on Constitution Day in Parliament today. If Modi ji had read this book of the Constitution, he would not have done what he does every day. It has been given the form of a book, but it is not just a book. The idea of social empowerment of India in the 21st century is within this Constitution.
Rahul Gandhi said that he says that the thinking of Gandhi, Phule, Shivaji will be found in the book of the Constitution. Is Savarkar’s thinking reflected in this? This is a book of truth and non-violence. It is not written anywhere in the Constitution that the government should be run by lying, nor is it written about killing or beheading anyone. Rohit Vemula’s picture is here. He also wanted to speak but he was killed.
A few days ago, cast census work has been started in Telangana. For the first time, Caste Senses was made a public exercise. Lakhs of Dalits and people from all backward classes participated in it. In the coming time, wherever our government comes, we will conduct caste census there. India has 15 percent Dalit population, 8 percent tribal population and 10 percent minority population, but there is no information about how many people from backward classes are included in this. Backward class can be up to 50 percent. If we add them all together, 90 percent of the population comes from these classes. But their participation is 5 to 10 percent.

Rahul Gandhi said that whenever RSS and Modi get a chance, they strengthen this wall further. The country’s money goes into the pockets of 25 billionaires. Name one Dalit tribal among these 25.
