"Dalit Chale Congress Ki Ore"<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->AICC secretary and Dalit leader from Delhi Jai Kishan seems to be out of form. The conclave of Dalit workers organised by Kishan on Thursday was not a patch on his earlier efforts. <b>The convention was attended by less than one-fourth of the prominent Congress leaders</b>, whose presence was assured in the invite issued on the occasion. Congress president <b>Sonia Gandhi did not show-up for the show.</b> So did AICC general secretary and Dalit leader Mukul Wasnik, who was to preside over the function. The situation was saved by the presence of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Union Minister Meira Kumar and Kishan's one-time patron Ajit Jogi, the former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh. Incidentally, the invite had mentioned Jogi's name much after the other Congress leaders. It's another matter that when Jogi was general secretary at AICC he had promoted Kishan and facilitated visit of Congress president Sonia Gandhi to the Dalit rally held at Ramlila Maidan.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Congress is busy appeasing Muslims, they don't have time for Dalits.
