Rahul Gandhi's New Political Strategy Faces Criticism Over Dalit Welfare Allegations
Rahul Gandhi has adopted a new political approach targeting Dalits, women, Gen Z, OBCs, and minorities, criticizing the Manusmriti and accusing the BJP and RSS of patriarchal mindsets. This shift aims to broaden Congress's appeal ahead of upcoming elections. Meanwhile, critics highlight allegations of corruption in Congress-ruled Karnataka, citing the Rs 89 crore Valmiki Corporation Scam as undermining Gandhi's Dalit advocacy. The contrasting narratives reflect ongoing political contestation over caste and social justice issues in India.
