NEW DELHI: BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday hit back at Rahul Gandhi who accused PM Modi of having an “anti-Dalit” mindset and asked the Congress chief to look at facts when “free from winking” and alleged it was the opposition party that had alegacy of insulting Dalits.

In a series of tweets, Shah said the PM’s legacy included “strongest amendments to SC/ST Act” and setting up of the OBC Commission, while the Congress legacy was about insulting Dalit leaders, opposing the Mandal Commission report and blocking a move to empower the OBC body.

Shah referred to Parliament’s nod to the amendment to the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, superseding the Supreme Court order. “The NDA government has ensured the strongest amendment to the Act,” Shah tweeted.

Shah said it would have been good if Rahul had spoken about his party’s treatment of Bhimrao Ambedkar, Babu Jagjivan Ram and Sitaram Kesri. “Congress way of treating Dalits is patronising and condescending. For years, Congress insulted Dalit aspirations,” he said.
