Congress leaders label BJP narrative on Dalit politics as divisive

Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi described Rahul Gandhi’s recent statements as "divisive" and warned that the Congress repeatedly raises caste, language and regional issues to create friction. Trivedi contrasted the Congress’s rhetoric with the BJP’s focus on inclusive development and social harmony. He cited the party’s efforts to increase representation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in state governments and argued that the BJP’s policies aim at uniting all sections of society rather than fragmenting them.
