Rahul Gandhi spoke for 35 minutes in Lucknow to win Dalit votes. The occasion was Kanshi Ram Jayanti, but Rahul's target was the Modi government. In front of Dalits, Rahul took Modi's name more than Kanshi Ram's. He said-

Narendra Modi does not believe in the ideology of the country’s constitution. Sometime visit Apollo, look at the doctor’s nameplate there, you won’t find 85% (Dalits, backwards) anywhere. You won’t find Dalits and backwards among CEOs of big companies.

Rahul further says: In courts, bureaucracy, and corporate settings, you will only see 15% of the elite class. In MGNREGA list, 85% are Dalits and backwards. This is what Kanshi Ram used to say in his pen model.

Kanshi Ram used to say, ‘One man one vote, representation according to population… but what is the reality?’ 15% control the country’s resources’. Kanshi Ram was fighting to change this picture; now Congress is fighting this battle.

Rahul Gandhi celebrated Social Change Day in Lucknow 2 days before Kanshi Ram Jayanti. He spoke directly with 4,000 people. Bhaskar learned from the leaders themselves how much Rahul’s message reached them…

MP said, ‘Rahul gave clear vision in 3 points’ Congress MP from Sitapur Rakesh Rathore, says, ‘Rahul Gandhi has given a clear vision today. Congress is focused on 3 points. First- Caste census. Second- Protection of the Constitution. Third- MGNREGA’.

These 3 factors are going to prove decisive in UP. Due to MGNREGA, 80% of Dalits and backward classes were able to get respect.

Congress spokesperson Sachin Rawat says, Rahul Gandhi is saying, ‘The greater the numbers, the greater the participation. This was the dream of Baba Saheb and Kanshi Ram’.

Now Congress will become the voice of Dalits and the backwards in UP. Leaders and workers from Dalit and backward communities will advance in Congress. They will also get places in the government.

Now the move for reservation in private sector Congress Vice President Vishvavijay Singh said, ” The way Kanshi Ram did politics, Congress also follows that”. We are ready to give participation to Dalits and the backwards in the organisation and government. Also, we will ensure places for Dalits and backwards in large institutions and private sector.

Will tell the public how agricultural rights were surrendered Congress National Secretary Dheeraj Gurjar explains this in more detail. He says, Rahul Gandhi mentioned the agriculture sector. Even today, 70% of our country’s population does farming. Most of these are Dalits, backward and extremely backward classes.

We will go among the people. Will explain how the BJP central government surrendered agricultural rights to America. We will put these questions to the country’s public about how we have surrendered on the energy sector.

Female leader claims, ‘Public will support Congress in 2027’ Bundelkhand zone’s Women Congress State President Karishma Thakur confidently says that Congress will form a government in UP in the 2027 elections. In today’s time, only Rahul Gandhi is such a leader who speaks fearlessly. Our PM is making decisions completely under American pressure.

Will Trump now tell us which country to buy oil from? Therefore, the public will give surprising results in the upcoming elections.

Sohan Lal, who came to hear Rahul Gandhi, has retired from the Agriculture Department. He says, ‘10% people occupy 90% of the posts in the Secretariat’. When halwa (benefits) is distributed, these 10% people alone are eating the share of the 85%.

Rahul Gandhi is attacking this very issue. We will go among the public with this ideology. Today, only Congress is fighting for the voice and rights of Dalits and backward classes.

Now, understand the political message of Rahul’s pen model By mentioning Kanshiram’s pen-model, Rahul tried to appeal to Dalits, extremely backward classes and minorities. Said, when Kanshiram used to travel in UP in his struggle to uplift Dalits and ensure their political participation, he kept a pen with him.

He used to say that the pen cap represents 15% upper castes who operate the pen. It should have been that 85% should get the benefit.

Since the BJP came to power, they have created a new system. They have separated the pen and the cap itself. They are only moving with 15% (upper castes). 85% have been thrown away.

Question: Is Rahul trying to prove Modi as a weak PM? Answer: If you listen to Rahul Gandhi’s speech, it’s clear that he is trying to prove Narendra Modi as a weak PM.

This is why he kept claiming that the PM compromised under American pressure. For this, he also mentioned the trade deal with America.

They try to explain that they are not speaking baseless words. In this trade deal, all benefits were given to America, while our farmers will suffer the most in the future. American farmers will sell agricultural products worth ₹9 lakh crores in our country.

Raising the question of an oil and gas crisis in the country, Rahul Gandhi said, “People are troubled by low gas supply.” Then mentioning the Epstein file, he also attacked the PM’s personal image.

Rahul Gandhi openly accused PM Modi of compromising the country’s energy security. This is why America is now deciding where we will buy oil. He mentioned the Epstein Files and George Soros while referring to Petroleum Minister Hardeep Puri and his daughter’s company.

The meaning is clear that Rahul is making his way by attacking the same PM on whose face and strength the BJP wins state elections. In his speech, Rahul Gandhi clearly said that “There are only two reasons for PM Modi’s surrender. One is Epstein’s and the second is Adani’s ongoing case in America.

Modi himself is involved in the Adani case, which is why he has completely surrendered. Modi ji has lost psychologically, and when a person loses mentally, then he has to lose.

Now, 3 major points from Rahul Gandhi’s statement:

Narendra Modi does not believe in constitutional ideology: The constitution contains the voices of all Dalit great personalities. The voices of Savarkar and Nathuram Godse are not in this constitution. Whatever Narendra Modi may say, he does not believe in the ideology of this constitution.

All goods will come from America: The PM has said that we will buy goods worth ₹9 lakh crores from America. I want to ask, what will our businesses do? Cotton, soya, fruits, almonds, and walnuts will now be sold here by American farmers. America has large farms. All their goods will come here, and they will finish everything.

Congress needs 100 people willing to die in UP: Now we have a big opportunity. Let’s change India’s politics. If Congress can find just 100 people in UP who say they will die, won’t back down, won’t abandon our goals, our work will be done.

Congress will raise demand to give Bharat Ratna to Kanshiram Congress has passed a proposal demanding Bharat Ratna for Kanshiram. It has been decided that this demand will be raised in Parliament through Rahul Gandhi.

This was the first time that Rahul Gandhi came to Lucknow to do a major event 2 days before Kanshiram Jayanti. About 4 thousand people participated in the program. This is being considered a big step by Congress in the politics of Dalit voters.

Congress-SP Alliance in UP In the Lok Sabha elections, when Congress had an alliance with SP, NDA’s seat count in UP was reduced to 36. The grand alliance succeeded in winning 43 seats. The grand alliance wants to repeat this success in the 2027 assembly elections.

SP has also announced to celebrate Kanshiram Jayanti as PDA Day. Programs will be held at party district headquarters in 75 districts of UP on March 15.
