Congress Bold Move: Promises Char Dham Yatra Pilgrimages for ‘Dalits’ to Win Voter Support

<p><strong>Congress Strategic Outreach</strong></p><p>The Congress is now gearing up to re-approach its core Dalit voters. To this effect, the party is conducting public meetings across various places under the leadership of one of its top Dalit leaders, Mallikarjun Kharge.<br><br>The parties have gone all out in promising things to voters for winning the Delhi Assembly elections. One announcement, though, is made by the Congress. If they succeed in conveying this plan to the rightly identified voter group, it should bode well for them. Congress has also promised that on coming to power, they will undertake a pilgrimage to four major holy places of the Dalits. Those places are Mhow, the birthplace of Ambedkar, Sarnath, the birthplace of Gautam Buddha, Bodh Gaya, and Ravidass birthplace.&nbsp<br><br><strong>Congresss Tactical Play</strong></p><p>The Congress party is playing its best trick to regain its Dalit vote bank. To this end, it is holding public meetings across locations with a leader from the Dalit community, Mallikarjun Kharge. Under this, it has promised the pilgrimage of four holy sites to Dalit voters. This, according to many, would further the appeal of Congress among the Dalits.</p><p><br><strong>Udit Raj Criticizes Kejriwal and Credits the growth of support for Congress</strong><br><br>Former Member of Parliament Dr. Udit Raj has been very vocal in his criticism of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of seeking Dalit votes without taking any meaningful action for their welfare. Dr. Raj mentioned that even though Kejriwal has promised the priests and granthis with a monthly salary, he forgot the religious leaders of Buddhism, the importance of which has been for innumerable Dalit voters. As per Dr. Raj, dissatisfaction is the cause of people now seeking leadership at the hands of Congress. He believes that the renewed focus of Congress on Dalit issues, particularly through this pilgrimage, would greatly change voter support in favor of the party in the next election.</p>
