Mamta Bhupesh, the recently sworn-in women and child development minister in Rajasthan's Congress government, says her first priority is to serve her caste. Society, she says, comes later.

At a gathering in Alwar on New Year's Eve, Bhupesh said, "Pratham karya hamara hamari jaati ke liye, uske baad hamare samaj ke liye, uske baad sarv samaj ke liye, sab ke liye. Hamari mansha yeh rahegi ki hum sabke liye kaam kar paayein. (My first priority will be my caste, then society and then comes the rest. My intention is to work for everyone)."

The Congress formed governments in three Hindi belt states late last year, ousting BJP administration. Rajasthan was one of them.

Mamta Bhupesh may want to take a look at this 2015 tweet from her boss. No, not Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.

The party boss -- who wrote then that casteism should be uprooted.

"Our fight should be to give equal rights to everyone," Rahul Gandhi wrote in the tweet above. What would he think about the remarks made by his party colleague in Rajasthan?
