No vacancy for alliance of non-BJP parties: Paswan on efforts to form broad coalition

Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan today ridiculed
On the BJP's outreach programme to woo scheduled caste voters with its leaders having dinner at Dalit houses, Paswan said, "If you are going to someone's place for dinner, where you are invited, where is the problem?"
The problem happens, he said, when Congress president Rahul Gandhi eats food at a Dalit house and it is dubbed as 'krantikari' (revolutionary), whereas when BJP chief Amit Shah does so, he is criticised. "This should not happen."
"We are of the opinion since the very beginning that if the government makes special provisions and gives it to the weakest sections of the Dalits who are illiterate and live in very poor conditions and we have to cut our share, then what is the problem? We are ready for this."
