BJP on Saturday accused Congress of shedding “crocodile tears” over suicide of a Dalit scholar and attacked its vice president Rahul Gandhi for using students as a “political tool” after he joined them at the Hyderabad Central University for a day-long fast over the issue.
Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu said nine cases of Dalit student suicides had taken place in the campus during the UPA rule but Mr. Gandhi never bothered to go there as he asked opposition parties to wait for the report of the judicial commission probe ordered by the Centre into the suicide.
“Congress is shedding crocodile tears simply to gain political mileage. Congress and communist parties are trying to make this a political issue and making a beeline to the university, forgetting that 9 such incidents happened during the UPA rule. This is part of their anti-Modi campaign across the country,” he told reporters.
BJP said the Congress vice president’s protests reflected the opposition party’s “frustration” as its leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi and most chief ministers were facing serious corruption charges.
