Leaders flock to village, flay BJP government

Attacking the BJP government, leaders of different non-BJP parties on Saturday accused it of being “anti-Dalit” and promoting “Hindutva fascist forces” even as they questioned PM Narendra Modi’s “deafening silence” over it. CPI(M) politbureau member Brinda Karat, Janata Dal (United) stalwart Sharad Yadav, CPI leader D Raja and Babasaheb Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar visited the victims.
