BJP using Dalit card to deflect from questions on Governor Gehlot

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday accused the BJP of using the Dalit card against him. He claimed that the BJP leaders who were unable to answer questions regarding the alleged misdeeds of Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot were resorting to the tactic of playing caste politics.

Taking to Facebook, CM Siddaramaiah on Thursday commented on the statewide protests condemning alleged derogatory statements against the Governor and stated, “If you (BJP) truly respect the Dalit community, allow Governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot to perform his duties constitutionally without putting political pressure on him, and stop these dramas of protests and resistance.”
