No one has done more for Dalits, farmers than Modi govt: Kataria

New Delhi, Feb 9 : Union minister Ratanlal Kataria on Tuesday said that no government has done as much as the Modi government for the welfare of farmers and Dalits, so Dalits will not be misled by anyone.
Union Minister of State for Water Power, Social Justice and Empowerment, Kataria is a noted Dalit leader from Haryana and he was reacting to a statement of a farmer leader of his state.
Gurnam Singh Chaduni, state president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) in Haryana, through a video message, appealed to the Dalit community of the country to participate in the farmers’ movement.
In the video message, Chaduni says, “If the Dalit brothers join this movement, the BJP government might have to bow down.” On this, Kataria said in a special conversation with IANS, “Chaduni sir, it is good to keep this valuable suggestion with you, because there are already many problems facing the Dalit society, for which the society has been fighting for years.” He said, “The first struggle of the Dalits is to get what Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar has promised to them in the Constitution. Modiji has tried a lot in that direction by celebrating Constitution Day since November 26, 2015.”
