Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi, who was on a one-day visit to Allahabad, interacted with Dalit writers and activists at a seminar in the city. He also met with Dalits in a slum cluster. Rahul Gandhi went to the Malin Basti in Pura Padaain in the Kumbh Mela area and interacted with residents and assured his full support to find solution for their grievances.
At the seminar on “Dreams of neglected communities in a democracy” at Gobind Ballabh Pant Social Science Institute in Jhunsi, Rahul Gandhi spoke on various aspects on why Dalit representation in politics was inadequate.
According to Prof Badri Narayan, head of the Dalit Resource Centre at the GBPSSI, which organised the seminar, Rahul Gandhi talked about various issues related to Dalits. “Rahul Gandhi talked about issues like ticket distribution, where just a few people at the top manage things. He said such practices will not ensure adequate and proper representation. He also dwelt on issues of migration as a necessary requirement for the development of any section of society, including the Dalits,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi also launched other development projects also in the city.
