We visit Dalit homes in spite of mosquitoes, says BJP leader: Highlights

The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is only indulging in pretence and drama in the name of Dalits, said Congress Party

Uttar Pradesh Education Minister Anupma Jaiswal got embroiled in a controversy on Friday when she said that ministers of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are ensuring proper implementation of the schemes by visiting Dalit households, despite getting bitten by mosquitoes. Jaiswal is the third BJP minister to have made such a gaffe in a week. When asked about the controversy on Uttar Pradesh minister Suresh Rana's visit to a Dalit household, Jaiswal said, "Schemes are made for benefitting all the sections and to ensure proper implementation, ministers are paying several visits, even if mosquitoes bite them all night."
