‘BJP had the maximum number of MPs belonging to minority communities’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday reached out to Dalits and other backward communities in poll-bound Karnataka, saying his government was trying to fulfil Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s dream of a powerful and prosperous nation.

Mr. Modi hit out at the Congress, saying it had failed to confer Bharat Ratna on Dr. Ambedkar when it was in power.

Addressing the SC, ST, BC and Slum Morcha workers of Karnataka BJP via “Narendra Modi” app, he said, “Our government has made the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act more stringent.”

He also reminded the workers that the BJP had the maximum number of members of Parliament belonging to the SC/ST, OBC and minority communities.

The Congress did not allow the functioning of Parliament to avoid giving constitutional status to the OBC Commission.

Earlier, the Prime Minister had reached out to the party office-bearers and workers of the women and youth wings through the app.
