Congress always treated Dalits as a bank of votes

Published By : Admin | April 28, 2010 | 21:05 IST

State Government Spokes-Person, Health Minister Shri Jaynarayan Vyas and MOS Shri Saurabhbhai Patel have sharply repudiated Congress Leadership for triggering the controversy. The evil -campaign is based on fabricated stories. It is to be noted here that the Book-Release function held at Ahmedabad, and labyrinth controversy is triggered by congress leadership, has no substance at all. State Government has recorded version of CM’s Speech. Chief Minister has not spoken a single word of the sort. Nor, there is anything objectionable is being found in the Book- which was released, the book is based on Social Harmony. Next day, all the major News-Papers, including Gujarat Samachar, had covered the event. In highlighting the Book-Release function, no News-Paper has printed a single word about the alleged controversial remarks. However, with ulterior motives, just to provoke the Dalits, Congress has sponsored the campaign of lies. The episode has damaged the image and esteem of opposition. They must tender their apology to the citizens.

Power hungry Congress is playing with fire. They have been playing dirty, divisive and vote-bank politics for their own benefits. They have always treated Dalits as a bank of votes, never cared about the welfare of Dalits during their regime. The Dalit-Voter was remembered only at the time of election. Congress has treated Hon.Dr.Babasaheb also as an untouchable, during his entire life. Dr. Babasaheb fought for the cause of social harmony. He dedicated his whole life for the cause of social-harmony. He never afraid in highlighting the truth, on the contrary, he remained instrumental in busting the hollowness of Congress. ‘Divide and Rule policy’ is flowing in to the genes of Congress. Since Independence, their unobstructed rule for 40 -50 years are under public scanner, when Shri Narendra Modi was nowhere in picture.

The Dalits, Down-Trodden and Underprivileged Classes remained at the mercy of post- independent regimes, who was responsible for the sorry state? Congress could never treat them as a vibrant force, nor could offer dignified treatment. Congress leadership could not take-up the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi seriously, which implies them to serve Harijan and Daridra Narayan. The down-trodden, underprivileged classes and Dalits trusts Shri Modijee, they see him as an emancipator, who is relentlessly fighting for their rights. Shri Narendra Modi has left a high stamp of credibility among Dalits. Perhaps, Congress is scared of the loss of Dalit Vote-Bank. Dr Ambedkar, who had dedicated his entire life for carrying out the crusade against untouchability, became victim of Congress’s political untouchability. Abandoning cast- creed and religion, he carried out public campaign for the welfare of Dalits. Compared to that, present Congress leadership’s stature is not at all up to the mark. Spokes Person added that people are aware about it.

Spokes Person revealed series of events, under which Congress has employed dirty tactics to remain in power, the power hunger of Congress is known to all. He raised a very crucial point, “During 45 years of Congress Rule, and how many accesses and atrocities the Dalits had to face? Take an account of atrocities, under Congress Regime! Who pitted Minorities against Dalits? Who tried to take disadvantage of the Backwardness and poor state of Dalits? Prod on that. Those, who are shedding crocodile tears, their identity is very clear in the mind-frame of Dalits. They have been victims of number of bitter experiences. And now, they are trying to attack the image of an emancipator, the great leader like Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Mind well, they can never succeed in their evil mission. They can no longer mislead the Dalits.

Shri Narendrabhai Modi has to his credit the longest period of service; he has to his credit a record that he ruled Gujarat for 3000 days. To mark that, he carried out the Abhiyan of Garib Kalyan Mela. As many as 50 Garib Kalyan Mela offered economic assistance to the tune of Rs. 2700 Crores to 21 lac odd beneficiaries. Intended benefits reached up to identified and appropriate beneficiary. It proved disastrous for the mediators, who used to run their shops since Congress Regime. They have become desperate; Congress is also desperate as its vote-bank is no more with it. It left congress in dilemma, a face saving exercise for them. They are not in a position to face Dalits; they even opposed the Maha-Yagna of welfare. In the coming three months, State is scheduled to organise 225 Garib Kalyan Melas, covering all the Talukas. Desperation has come out of the scare. They are trying to vitiate the noble drives, which are aimed to empower the poor. The Dalits would never forgive Congress for their heinous acts, added Spokes Person.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries in Delhi, earlier today. The three-day Conference was held in Pusa, Delhi from 26 to 28 December, 2025.

Prime Minister observed that this conference marks another decisive step in strengthening the spirit of cooperative federalism and deepening Centre-State partnership to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised that Human Capital comprising knowledge, skills, health and capabilities is the fundamental driver of economic growth and social progress and must be developed through a coordinated Whole-of-Government approach.

The Conference included discussions around the overarching theme of ‘Human Capital for Viksit Bharat’. Highlighting India's demographic advantage, the Prime Minister stated that nearly 70 percent of the population is in the working-age group, creating a unique historical opportunity which, when combined with economic progress, can significantly accelerate India's journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister said that India has boarded the “Reform Express”, driven primarily by the strength of its young population, and empowering this demographic remains the government’s key priority. Prime Minister noted that the Conference is being held at a time when the country is witnessing next-generation reforms and moving steadily towards becoming a major global economic power.

He further observed that Viksit Bharat is synonymous with quality and excellence and urged all stakeholders to move beyond average outcomes. Emphasising quality in governance, service delivery and manufacturing, the Prime Minister stated that the label "Made in India' must become a symbol of excellence and global competitiveness.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to strengthen Aatmanirbharta, stating that India must pursue self-reliance with zero defect in products and minimal environmental impact, making the label 'Made in India' synonymous with quality and strengthen our commitment to 'Zero Effect, Zero Defect.’ He urged the Centre and States to jointly identify 100 products for domestic manufacturing to reduce import dependence and strengthen economic resilience in line with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister emphasised the need to map skill demand at the State and global levels to better design skill development strategies. In higher education too, he suggested that there is a need for academia and industry to work together to create high quality talent.

For livelihoods of youth, Prime Minister observed that tourism can play a huge role. He highlighted that India has a rich heritage and history with a potential to be among the top global tourist destinations. He urged the States to prepare a roadmap for creating at least one global level tourist destination and nourishing an entire tourist ecosystem.

PM Modi said that it is important to align the Indian national sports calendar with the global sports calendar. India is working to host the 2036 Olympics. India needs to prepare infrastructure and sports ecosystem at par with global standards. He observed that young kids should be identified, nurtured and trained to compete at that time. He urged the States that the next 10 years must be invested in them, only then will India get desired results in such sports events. Organising and promoting sports events and tournaments at local and district level and keeping data of players will create a vibrant sports environment.

PM Modi said that soon India would be launching the National Manufacturing Mission (NMM). Every State must give this top priority and create infrastructure to attract global companies. He further said that it included Ease of Doing Business, especially with respect to land, utilities and social infrastructure. He also called upon states to encourage manufacturing, boost ‘Ease of Doing Business’ and strengthen the services sector. In the services sector, PM Modi said that there should be greater emphasis on other areas like Healthcare, education, transport, tourism, professional services, AI, etc. to make India a Global Services Giant.

Prime Minister also emphasized that as India aspires to be the food basket of the world, we need to shift to high value agriculture, dairy, fisheries, with a focus on exports. He pointed out that the PM Dhan Dhanya Scheme has identified 100 districts with lower productivity. Similarly, in learning outcomes States must identify the lowest 100 districts and must work on addressing the issues around the low indicators.

PM also urged the States to use Gyan Bharatam Mission for digitization of manuscripts. He said that States may start a Abhiyan to digitize such manuscripts available in States. Once these manuscripts are digitized, Al can be used for synthesizing the wisdom and knowledge available.

Prime Minister noted that the Conference reflects India’s tradition of collective thinking and constructive policy dialogue, and that the Chief Secretaries Conference, institutionalised by the Government of India, has become an effective platform for collective deliberation.

Prime Minister emphasised that States should work in tandem with the discussions and decisions emerging from both the Chief Secretaries and the DGPs Conferences to strengthen governance and implementation.

Prime Minister suggested that similar conferences could be replicated at the departmental level to promote a national perspective among officers and improve governance outcomes in pursuit of Viksit Bharat.

Prime Minister also said that all States and UTs must prepare capacity building plan along with the Capacity Building Commission. He said that use of Al in governance and awareness on cyber security is need of the hour. States and Centre have to put emphasis on cyber security for the security of every citizen.

Prime Minister said that the technology can provide secure and stable solutions through our entire life cycle. There is a need to utilise technology to bring about quality in governance.

In the conclusion, Prime Minister said that every State must create 10-year actionable plans based on the discussions of this Conference with 1, 2, 5 and 10 year target timelines wherein technology can be utilised for regular monitoring.

The three-day Conference emphasised on special themes which included Early Childhood Education; Schooling; Skilling; Higher Education; and Sports and Extracurricular Activities recognising their role in building a resilient, inclusive and future-ready workforce.
