ConGRess pushes BRahmins to Bjp

-

The Congress has successful­ly pushed the Brahmin community into the BJP’s pocket. By abandoning N.D. Tiwari, one of its most prominent Brahmin leaders, Congress has also abandoned its Brahmin leaders in Uttarakhan­d. They are joining the BJP in droves. Another senior Brahmin leader from the Congress in Uttarakhan­d, Indira Hridayesh too is all set to say goodbye to the party. The current Chief Minister, Harish Rawat is largely to blame for the situation. Anybody who is even distantly related to him are either an MLA or an officebear­er in the PCC or is an MP. He is also appeasing his own Thakur community, giving rise to disillusio­nment among the Brahmins. Despite several petitions made to Rahul Gandhi by Pradesh Congress Committee chief Kishore Upadhyaya against Rawat, the CM continues to be as autocratic as before. Similar is the case in Uttar Pradesh, where ex UPCC chief, Rita Bahuguna Joshi, a Brahmin, has joined the BJP. There is talk that even Sheila Dikshit may join the BJP.
