Dalits Assaulted, Mayawati Insulted: BJP On Backfoot?
Parliament today witnessed stormy scenes over Dalit atrocities in Gujarat and the shameful, derogatory remarks by BJP's Uttar Pradesh Vice President Dayashankar Singh against Mayawati. The damage control was swift with Arun Jaitley expressing "personal regret" at the BJP leader's remarks and Rajnath Singh saying PM was deeply saddened by what happened with young Dalit boys in Gujarat. But Mayawati warned of Dalit uprising saying the BJP leader had insulted "all the behen-betis". On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: have the two incidents pushed the BJP on backfoot?
