Spartan Posted July 21, 2016 Report Posted July 21, 2016 It’s trouble time for saffronites who have been trying to play the backward card in the high-stakes elections that lie ahead in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. The BJP, which claimed to have the support of a large chunk of upper castes across the country, has been trying to reach out to Dalits, who constitute nearly 17 per cent of the country’s population. Party strategists claimed since Dalits were under-represented at the national-level, the BJP could provide them leadership. It was pointed out that despite Mayawati’s attempts to reach out to Dalits, she had never been able to make her presence felt outside UP and this was the space that the BJP was looking for at the national-level. @VizagRocks Quote
