New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi today took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his reported remarks that BJP needs to bring Dalits into its fold as nationalists were already with the party, wondering whether he did not consider Dalits and backwards as nationalists.
"So now 'Dalits' and 'Backwards' are not Nationalists Modiji?," Mr Gandhi said on Twitter.
The Congress vice president was reacting to PM Modi's remarks at the BJP core group meeting on Tuesday, where he reportedly said that without diluting the "nationalist" identity of BJP, the party needs to work to woo Dalits and backwards to its fold.
PM Modi had reportedly said that nationalists are with BJP and the party now needs to bring Dalits and backwards into its fold.
BJP is seeking to woo Dalits ahead of the crucial Assembly polls in five states early next year, including Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
