Mangaluru: Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu today alleged Congress is indulging in "cheap politics" over the suicide of a Dalit research scholar at Hyderabad University for which an FIR had been registered against Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya.
"Congress is engaging in cheap politics," he told reporters at the international airport in Mangaluru on his way to Uppala in Kasaragod district of Kerala to flag off BJP's Kerala march.
He said nine Dalit students had committed suicide at the university when the UPA government was in power and nobody was talking about it now.
Mr Naidu alleged that Congress was always trying to delay and disrupt the central government's development projects.
"The Opposition is following a 4D policy of disruption, diversion, delay and defamation," he said, adding that their only aim was to "defame" Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The NDA government had solved issues relating to fiscal deficit and current account deficit and World Bank and IMF had commended the economic growth of the country, he said.
