Shah further alleged that “Would have been good if Congress President would have spoken about his Party’s treatment towards Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Babu Jagjivan Ram, and Sitaram Kesari. Congress’ way of treating Dalits is patronising and condescending. For years Congress insulted Dalit aspirations.”

Remembering former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s stand on Mandal Commision, Shah accused him of opposing the Mandal Commission’s report which recommended a reservation for the Other Backward Classes (OBC). Shah tweeted, “Mr.Rahul Gandhi expecting research and honesty is difficult from you but do read Mr. Rajiv Gandhi’s speech during Mandal when he opposed it tooth & nail. The sense of entitlement and hatred for backward communities comes out so clearly. And today you talk about Dalit welfare!”
