Newly-recruited Congressman Udit Raj has insulted President Ram Nath Kovind and called him deaf and dumb Dalit and even went on to say that the BJP party does not want Dalit leaders, they only want Dalit votes.
Udit Raj was addressing a media briefing in Jaipur, “BJP want Dalit, but it does not want a Dalit neta (minister). Ram Nath Kovind came to me with his biodata on May 20, 2014 and asked me if I could recommend him to the party (BJP) so that he could get some recognition in the party. I tried for that, after which he became the Governor and then became the President. So within the BJP, a deaf and dumb Dalit can reach any position. First he was made the national spokesperson, now he is the President. If I would have been deaf and dumb then they would have made me also Prime Minister. They want deaf and dumb. They don’t want Dalit leader, but just Dalit vote,” Udit Raj said in a shocking remark against the President of India.
Udit Raj was denied ticket in BJP. Soon after that, he joined Congress and sent out a message that he will work to defeat the anti-Dalit BJP in this election.
