Ahead of crucial assembly elections in Uttarakhand next year, where the Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) is set to lock horns with the Congress, chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said the Opposition party’s attempt to build a Dalit narrative with the Haldwani “purification” issue has been busted, and nothing of that sort took place.
There were no complaints of malpractices or cheating during recruitment. The Congress does not have any election issue in Uttarakhand and has no political strength left. The Congress is trying to build a fake narrative. The Congress tried to build a fake Dalit narrative in Haldwani, where during a rally by their national president (Mallikarjun Kharge) jihadi slogans were raised. This is not true. The cleaning was done by people including Dalits of the huge garbage left behind and for raising jihadi slogans at sacred Ramlila Grounds. In Ankita Bhandari case , the Congress was again exposed for a fixed audio clip on the alleged VIP connection. The three accused were sentenced for life and we have referred the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as per family’s request.
Because he was a Dalit, purification was done on the site later, the party president said in Rajya Sabha that. In five years, we have provided jobs to more than 35,000 youth in a transparent and corruption free manner. We introduced a stringent law against examination malpractices and sent 100 people of cheating mafia to jail. We formed a SIT, which submitted a 1,000 page charge sheet.
